This is one of the Queen Victoria Jubilee issues, celebrating her 50th accession. Her anniversary was celebrated with a buffet in which 50 Kings and Princes were invited. I haven't come across anything saying that they all attended however.
Great Britain number 115 in my book with issues dating from 1887-1892.
Update.......Gordon Lee Groves from the FB group "Stamp Collecting" made this comment along with a link....It sure is a "busy" looking stamp. Here's a bit about her celebration: http://history1800s.about.com/...
