Postage stamps and postal history of Hong Kong, Part Three

HF: The death of Queen Victoria in 1901 and the reign of King Edward V11 saw the release of a new series of definitives, commonly referred at as the ”bald man”’s definitives by local philatelists and stamp collectors. The first set (1903) of stamps featuring Edward V11 consisted on 15 stamps.

A second set (1904) was printed on different paper, followed by a partial set (1907)  printed with different colours. These definitives saw a change in spelling for the name of the colony, from Hongkong to Hong Kong. This change was kept in the definitives of King George V but was reverted to Hongkong for the definitives of King George V1
