Stamp Magazine - February 2022
In this issue
In our February issue we revisit Britain’s 1935 Silver Jubilee issue, investigating how it came about and assessing its potential as the basis for a lively but affordable postal history collection.
We also offer a thorough thematic guide to writing, from the dawn of history to the present day, featuring stamps and covers on the subjects of hieroglyphics, alphabets, clay tablets, papyrus, paper, pens, ink, printing and more.
Amongst our regular features, Commonwealth Classics recalls the 1922 definitive series of Gambia, with its evocative ‘elephant and palm’ designs, and Great Engravers hails the work of Jan Mracek, who was a banknote engraver by day and a stamp engraver by night. Victoriana examines a cover franked with the 1880 4d stamp, and finds something unexpected.
Our news pages have details of eye-catching issues from around the world, stunning rarities sold at auction and the latest collectables from Royal Mail.
