The British Leeward Islands - Antigua, Dominica, Montserrat, Nevis, St. Christopher (St. Kitts), and the Virgin Islands all used postage stamps inscribed "LEEWARD ISLANDS" between 1890 and 1 July 1956, often concurrently with stamps inscribed with the colony's name. The issue of 1890 was a key plate stamp design with the usual profile of Queen Victoria, eight values ranging from 1/2d to 5 shillings. In 1897 they were overprinted with a logo commemorating Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, and in 1902 the 4, 6, and 7d were surcharged with a value of 1d.

  • The British Leeward Islands - Antigua, Dominica, Montserrat, Nevis, St. Christopher (St. Kitts), and the Virgin Islands all used postage stamps inscribed "LEEWARD ISLANDS" between 1890 and 1 July 1956, often concurrently with stamps inscribed with the colony's name. The issue of 1890 was a key plate stamp design with the usual profile of Queen Victoria, eight values ranging from 1/2d to 5 shillings. In 1897 they were overprinted with a logo commemorating Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, and in 1902 the 4, 6, and 7d were surcharged with a value of 1d. The 1890 issue design was also used for stamps of King Edward VII, as well as for King George V and George VI, with several changes of watermark and colours. In 1928 a large one-pound stamp was introduced, and updated for the new monarch when George VI took the throne. The common design commemorative stamps of the Commonwealth between 1946 and 1949 included stamps inscribed "LEEWARD ISLANDS". In 1951 the West Indies University issue reflected the changeover to cents and dollars, as did the Queen Elizabeth II definitive series of 1954. (en)
  • История почты и почтовых марок Подветренных островов охватывает развитие почтовой связи в британской колонии Подветренные (Левардские) острова в Вест-Индии, которая включала группу островов в состав Малых Антильских (Антигуа, Доминика, Виргинские, Монтсеррат, Невис, Сент-Кристофер) и существовала в 1871—1956 годах (с 1958 по 1962 год все острова, кроме Британских Виргинских островов, были объединены в Вест-Индскую Федерацию). Выпуск собственных почтовых марок был налажен для каждого острова, а в 1890—1954 годах марки Подветренных островов находились в обращении на всех островах. (ru)
