In this issue

In our January issue, we investigate the rise and fall of the ‘E’ denomination for British letters to Europe, and its challenges for the postal history collector. We also tell the story of The Philatelic Factory, which produced the stamp packets and accessories which kick-started many a childhood collection in the 20th century. There is a reassessment of Belgium’s dominical tabs of 1993-1914, which offered stamp users a choice as to whether they wanted their mail delivered on Sunday or not, and an appreciation of South Africa’s 1926-27 pictorial definitive designs, which were the first printed in bilingual pairs. Elsewhere, you’ll find reports on the short-lived stamps of West Irian, British stamps on the theme of dogs, and the world’s most impressive philatelic library, and lively discussion about television coverage of the hobby, the evolving design of machine-vended stamps and the future of Christmas issues. Plus, there’s all our regular coverage of world news, auction highlights, events and new issues.
