The stamp was produced by Azerpost LLC, a company within AZCON Holding, and features some of the earliest known photographs taken in Azerbaijan. The commemorative stamp is intended to preserve the historical images that mark the beginning of Azerbaijani photography through philately. Beyond recognizing the development of photography in Azerbaijan, the stamp is also expected to promote the country's rich photographic heritage to the international community through philatelic collections. Photography in Azerbaijan dates back to 1861, when panoramic images of Baku Bay were captured from the sea.
