Inscription: POSTAGE & REVENUE Historical Context This definitive series features the portrait of Sir Charles Brooke, the second White Rajah of the Kingdom of Sarawak. The Kingdom of Sarawak was a state on the island of Borneo, established and ruled by the Brooke dynasty, known as the "White Rajahs," from 1841 to 1946. During this period, it was a sovereign state and later a British protectorate. The inscription "POSTAGE & REVENUE" indicates that these stamps were dual-purpose, valid for paying both postal fees and certain government taxes or duties, a common practice in many British colonies and protectorates at the time.
