In this issue

In the July issue of Stamp Magazine we mark the death of the versatile designer Jeffery Matthews with a feature analysing his huge influence on British stamps in the late 20th century, including both commemorative and definitive issues.
We also explore the postal history of the Indian Mutiny, featuring letters and covers from servicemen caught in the midst of the brutal conflict of 1857-58, the biggest shock to the British Empire in the early years of the postage stamp.
Our series on Great Britain’s special issues in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II reassesses the 1963 Red Cross Centenary Congress set, with its modern geometric lines and its spectacular errors.
Meanwhile, Commonwealth Classics focuses on the 1931 pictorial series of South West Africa, and Strange But True tells the story of the Bahamas commemorative overprint which gambled on sporting success.
Our news pages have full details of Royal Mail’s Blackadder and Warhammer special issues, eye-catching and controversial stamps from around the world, and stand-out lots from the latest auctions.
Don’t miss it!
