The Stamp Centenary Exhibition was an international stamp exhibition. It was held at Lancaster House in London from 6–11 May 1940, under the auspices of the Royal Philatelic Society. It was in aid of the Lord Mayor's Red Cross and St. John Fund.[1] Penny Black reprints (with full gum) were printed by Waterlow and Sons for the exhibition. Miniature sheets were produced in five colors, as well as Cinderella stamp sheets. [2] A set of six commemorative stamps were also released the first day of the exhibition.[3] Commencement of the Battle of France coincided with its closing days.
