In this issue

In our August issue, we examine the many German stamps of the 1920s and 1930s portraying President Hindenburg, and show how he was such a national icon that they remained in use throughout the Third Reich. We also follow the journey of a remarkable cover, posted from the highest post office on Earth, in the Himalayas, to the highest post office above the Earth, on the International Space Station. Our monthly series on Britain’s commemoratives in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II studies the 1958 set for the British Empire & Commonwealth Games, with its distinctly Welsh flavour. Commonwealth Classics recalls the 1903 provisional issue of the Somaliland Protectorate, notorious for its overprint flaws, while Victoriana features a letter on the subject of one of the worst accidents of the era, the Tay Bridge disaster. Our news pages have full details of Royal Mail’s first ever LGBTQ+ special issue, intriguing new stamps with British themes from around the world, and the latest highlights from the auction rooms.
