Gambia King George VI Coronation and Victory Commemorative Stamps

This collection consists of five vintage postage stamps from Gambia, presented on a handwritten album page with gridded paper. The top row features three stamps from the May 1937 Coronation Omnibus issue for King George VI. These stamps depict portraits of Queen Elizabeth and King George VI flanking the crown and scepters. They are color-coded by denomination: a 1d brown, a 1.5d carmine-red, and a 3d blue. Each features fine line engraving and perforated edges. Below these are two stamps from the August 1946 Victory issue, commemorating the end of WWII. These horizontal stamps illustrate the Palace of Westminster and the River Thames with a portrait of the King to the right. This set includes a 1.5d black/grey and a 3d bright blue. All stamps appear to be in unused, mint condition with clean perforations and vibrant ink preservation. The handwritten script on the page provides historical context, identifying the issues as 'May 1937 Coronation of King George VI' and 'Aug 1946 Victory Issue'. The paper shows slight natural aging and some minor waving, but the philatelic items themselves appear well-protected and of high quality, representative of mid-20th-century British Colonial postal design and printing.
