Stamp Magazine | May-24
In the May issue of Stamp Magazine, we explore the postal history of Kenya since independence in 1963, including its evocative national stamps and the continued validity and postal use of KUT issues well into the 1970s.
We also investigate the story of Campione d’Italia, a little-known exclave of Italy in the Swiss Alps, which not only negotiated its own separate postal arrangements but even issued its own stamps in the 1940s.
The latest in our series on Great Britain’s commemoratives in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II features the Commonwealth Arts Festival set of 1965, while Commonwealth Classics recalls Malta’s 1926 definitive series, with its high values portraying saints.
Our news pages assess the Age of the Dinosaurs set from Royal Mail, interesting new stamps from around the world, and the latest highlights from the auction rooms. Meanwhile, our opinion columns discuss why some philatelic products fall out of favour, and the contribution that academics can make to the hobby’s body of knowledge.
Don’t miss it!
