As we have seen, the history of the journey from Victoria’s portrait to New Zealand’s first stamp issue is indeed fascinating. Equally as remarkable is the history of that history: a rich meta-journey that traces how the literature has twisted and turned on so many historical details over the years. Even now, it is difficult to argue that this meta-journey is over, since bold new claims and discoveries are regularly appended to the record. A further aspect of the story is its breath - across numismatics, philately, and geography - since the histories of all Chalon designs are intertwined and mutually illustrative. Still, we shall keep New Zealand as the main focus of this review.
