Perkins Bacon

Messrs. Perkins, Bacon & Co printed the first Penny Black postage stamps in 1840. They completed their printing contract for the line-engraved stamps on 31 December, 1879. In 1861 they lost the contract to print stamps as a punishment for giving copies of new issues away to friends of the management without permission from the governments involved.
