I was always intrigued by newspaper revenue stamps. Some countries like France seemed to glue these stamps to the blank paper before the printing process. See sample of a French Journaux stamp below.
How many different countries did this and during what time periods?

Thanks for the feedback

I believe this was also a common practice in Austria. Finding examples of intact newwspaper pages with the preaffixed revenues still intact is tougher than one would think.

Hi Jos,
Phew! tough question.

Some thoughts
England 1856
As revcollector suggested Austria
France 1875

That's all I had as images, in 1000 newspaper stamps worldwide.

The colonial US had newspaper revenues, RM18-RM20.
