This attractive stamp from Tristan da Cunha features a historic cartographic depiction of the island, based on an 18th-century map. The design highlights the rugged volcanic outline along with key geographical features like freshwater lakes. It commemorates early exploration, referencing the 1767 voyage of the French corvette L’Heure and later mapping by A. Dalrymple (1781). The classic Queen Elizabeth II silhouette confirms its British territory origin. A fine example for collectors interested in maritime history and early cartography.
