Stamp Magazine | March 2023
In the March issue we take a thematic look at Egyptology, showing how the treasures of ancient Egypt and the archaeologists who uncovered them have been celebrated on stamps.
We also investigate the stamps and postal history of Bohemia & Moravia, the short-lived German protectorate of World War II which is a surprisingly lively and varied collecting area, albeit with dark undertones.
Our series on Great Britain’s special issues in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II considers the 1963 Freedom From Hunger set, the first time the Post Office had got involved in an international campaign.
Meanwhile, Commonwealth Classics recalls Newfoundland’s ambitious 1933 issue celebrating the 350th anniversary of its annexation by Britain, and Strange But True reveals the Australian stamp that was years ahead of its time.
Our news pages highlight the most intriguing new issues from around the world, along with latest highlights from the auction rooms, while our opinion columns address the need for the reform of postal services and your personal opportunity to leave a philatelic legacy.
