hello

Does anyone know the name of the depicted Queen on this postcard?
Usually the head of the queen is always on stamps pictured, but on this postcard the Queen is standing upright?
1892 - it could be Queen Victoria?

Or is it not the British Queen?

A "one penny" postal stationery with a standing queen from 1892?

Yes, that's Queen Victoria.

Most of the postal cards issued during her reign featured the Queen's head in profile, but in 1889 Great Britain started issuing some cards with this full-body image. This particular 1 penny card was issued in 1892.

Here's an unused one from my own collection:

Thank you for your prompt reply. All my other stamps from England and the British Empire show the queen only as a head profile! This is my only stamp as a postal stationery from great britain and the only one with a standing queen!
Here in Austria very rare - is she rarely rare?
I could not find anything on the internet with the search term "Postal Stationery - one penny - british empire"!
