Stamp Magazine - August 2018
In this issue
In the August issue we cast our minds back to the British Empire’s 1937 Coronation omnibus series, finding that there is huge variety for collectors both in terms of stamps and first day covers.
We also present a history of British slogan postmarks, which have developed hugely in tone and technology over the century of their existence, and we investigate the attractive stamps and Christmas seals of the Danish West Indies, an almost forgotten European colony.
Our regular Commonwealth Classics feature admires the first issue of British East Africa, our Great Engravers slot discusses the continuing influence of Martin Morck, and our GB Themes pages consider the way in which plants and flowers have been depicted on stamps.
In our news pages, you’ll find full details of Royal Mail’s new sets celebrating Dad’s Army and Hampton Court Palace, as well as interesting new issues from around the world.
