The postal history of Bahamas begins in the 18th century, In 1804
a straight-line "BAHAMAS" handstamp came into use. The Royal Mail Line
initiated regular mail service in 1841.The use of postage stamps began
in April 1858
In 1901, the Bahamas became one of the Empire's early issuers of a
pictorial stamp, with a depiction of the Queen's Staircase in Nassau.In 1935, a pictorial stamp depicted flamingoes in flight;
replaced with George VI's profile, along with designs showing Fort
Charlotte, and a "sea garden", likely the first time underwater scenery
appeared on a stamp.The Bahamas issued commemoratives for the centenary of Bahamian stamps
in 1959, and for the centenary of Nassau in 1962. In 1964 the entire set of the 1954 issue was overprinted "NEW
CONSTITUTION / 1964" in recognition of self-government.
From the 1970s on, the Bahamas issued an assortment of large and
colorful stamps aimed at collectors, though not in great numbers.
