Stamp Magazine | Jul-18
In the July issue we investigate how countries have celebrated their national birds on stamps, and find that many examples are 19th-century and early 20th-century classics. From more recent years we interview the versatile Howard Brown about his many high-quality stamp designs for Royal Mail, and assess the collectability of the International Post issues of Australia, mint and on cover. Our Commonwealth Classics feature recalls the one and only stamp of British Columbia & Vancouver Island, our Great Engravers slot hails the impact of José Moreno Benavente on South American philately, our GB Themes pages consider great British institutions, and our Eyewitness Accounts series continues with a cover posted at the very minute that Britain entered World War I. In our news pages, you’ll find full details of Royal Mail’s Royal Wedding and Royal Academy of Arts sets, as well as interesting new issues from around the world, while our Auction Highlights include an American invert which is much older and rarer than the most famous one!
