After the British stamps issued in 1840, other several countries soon followed, among others : Zurich, Geneve, Basel ( three in Switzerland ), Mauritius, France, Germany, the United States and Brazil.
Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) government at the time ruled the archipelago, on 1 April 1864 date stamp was first issued. Dutch East Indies stamps newborn's red wine with a nominal price of 10 cents and displays the image of King Willem III.
At first time the image contains only the head of state ( king and queen ), the symbol of the state or the numbers alone indicate a nominal price, but then stamp design includes a wide range.
