In this issue

"A major feature in our April issue focuses on the fascinating variety offered by the classic philately of the United States of America, from postmasters’ provisionals to Civil War issues, from portraits of Washington to portraits of Lincoln, and from the Pony Express to embossed security grills. We also examine the impact made by Wales on the stamps and postal history of Great Britain. It’s a story which starts with Castles, continues with country definitives and thematic issues, and diversifies into bilingual cancellations, railway letter stamps and island carriage labels. Commonwealth Classics tells the story of the first stamp issue for British Bechuanaland, produced in a budget. Great Engravers recalls the pathfinder responsible for the very first recess-printed stamp of Czechoslovakia. And Black Magic examines how postal inspectors left their mark on Penny Black covers. Our news pages have details of Royal Mail’s new issues celebrating Only Fools & Horses and Arthurian Legend, preview the second incarnation of Virtual Stampex and reveal some spectacular auction realisations."
