分析 在邮票发明之前,把信发给另一个国家是困难的.发件人在他或她自己的国家为所要邮寄的信件付款,另一个国家的收件人要为那部分旅行付款,如果一封信要经过好几个国家,这个问题就会变得更糟.
罗兰•希尔,一位英国教师,想到了背面有胶水的邮票,1840年英国邮局制出了第一个邮票,他们是便士黑和两便士蓝,一个人买了一张邮票,把它粘在一封信上,邮局递送书信,当人们收到信,他们不必花任何的钱,信已经被预付过钱了,邮票很快在大不列颠立即流行起来,其他国家开始迅速地制造自己的邮票,但国际间邮递仍有问题,某些国家不愿意接受来自另一个国家的带邮票的信件.最后,在1874年,德国组织国际邮政系统(UPS),在UPS的每个国家同意接受来自与其他成员国的预付邮资的信件.今天,UPS的办公室是在瑞士,几乎世界上每个国家都是这个组织的一员,它关注着任何的国际邮寄问题,今天,在每一个国家的邮政局都出售漂亮的邮票,集邮成了世界上最流行的爱好之一.每个集邮者都知道便士黑和两便士蓝.
