Stamp Magazine - January 2025

इस अंक में

In the January issue of Stamp Magazine, we look back on the remarkable life of Eva Peron, an iconic figure in Argentina, and on the stamps issued to commemorate her, starting immediately after her tragically early death in 1952.
We also introduce some interesting postal history from the southern front in World War I, where a field post system served the troops that Germany secretly deployed in the Alps in support of its ally, Austria.
Our regular Commonwealth Classics feature considers an allegorical gem from Jamaica’s 1919-21 pictorial series, while our series on British commemoratives in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II features the 1966 World Cup set, the first issue to illustrate sportsmen in action and the first to be printed in five colours. Our news pages review the Winston Churchill set from Royal Mail, report on the possible closure of crown post offices, flag up intriguing new issues from around the world and highlight the most remarkable lots recently sold at auction. Meanwhile, our opinion columns reflect on the continuous evolution of Stampex and the synergies between philately and numismatics.
