Description: Hyderabad is located in south central region of the Indian subcontinent, and was ruled, from 1724 until 1948, by a hereditary Nizam In 1798 Hyderabad was added to the British Empire as one of the princely states of British India, but it retained control of its internal affairs. Hyderabad is considered a Feudatory state. The first stamps of Hyderabad were issued beginning 1869 and featured a Arabic script design with three different values 1/2, 1 and 2 Annas. They were replaced in 1880 with new design which was inscribed “POST STAMP” and the value was shown in four languages: Hindi, Telugu, Urdu and English around the center of the stamp. This design was used for Hyderabad definitives (including a surcharge), when a new design was introduced which featured the seal of the Nizam (the hereditory ruler of Hyderabad) in the center. The first few years contained the word “POSTAGE” inscribed across the top of the stamp in an arc. In 1915-16, an additional set was issued with the inscription “POST & RECEIPT”. In 1931, Hyderabad released a set of pictorials, which featured various important places within Hyderabad WATERMARK PRINTED PRINTING; Recess COLOUR; Lime Green PLEASE LOOK AT THE SCAN CAREFULLY BEFORE BUYING.
