This 1½d green postage and revenue stamp from Jamaica, issued in 1919, depicts a vivid scene titled “Contingent Embarking.” It shows Jamaican troops boarding a ship during World War I, symbolizing the island’s contribution to the British war effort. To the right is a finely engraved profile of King George V, framed by laurel leaves and a crown motif. The design captures both imperial pride and the human dimension of colonial participation in the Great War. Printed by De La Rue, this issue forms part of the “Pictorial” series combining royal portraiture with scenes from Jamaican life and history.
