In times of King George V between 1929 and 1937, three commemorative events took place. And to commemorate these events, stamps with relevant thematic and symbolic pictures were issued. The events are 1. Introduction of Air-Mail service 2. Inauguration of New Delhi 3. Silver jubilee of King George V’s reign.

Just as in King George V’s time, three landmark events were celebrated with commemorative stamps, a pictorial series of various modes of transports was also issued in King George VI's time.  Stamps from 2a to 12a in this series illustrated the modes of transport used for the carriage of mail in India. This was the first occasion when pictorial stamps formed part of a regular series. Till now, the pictorial form had only been used for commemorative issues such as Inauguration of New Delhi etc. It will be important to note that heads of British Royal Emperors were shown by the side of all the relevant symbolic pictures on these commemorative or regular series stamps.

Here an effort is made to present various FDCs prepared with these pictorial commemorative stamps issued King George V and King George VI’s period.
