This stamp to commemorates the 310th anniversary of the Treaty of
Union. On July 22, 1706, England and Scotland signed the Treaty of
Union to unite the two countries into the United Kingdom of Great
Britain in the following year (via the Acts of Union, 1707). The two
kingdoms had been separate countries sharing a common monarch, but Queen
Anne sought to unite them. She succeeded in 1707 and became the first
monarch of Great Britain.
The stamp shows a portrait of Queen
Anne and her son William, Duke of Gloucester, by Sir Godfrey Kneller,
Baronet, circa 1694. The flag shown is the Union Flag that flew from
1707 to 1801, when an additional red saltire was added to represent
Ireland.
