Stamp Magazine | July 2019
"In the July issue, we mark the 150th anniversary of the Suez Canal by examining its quirky postal history, including unofficial French stamps, mail from the British armed forces, Egyptian commemoratives and much more.
We also look back on the famous high-value stamps produced by the United States for the Pan-American flight of the Graf Zeppelin in 1930, and the many and varied usages of the humble halfpenny Machin definitive from 1971 to 1985.
Commonwealth Classics recalls the 1902 definitive issue of the Cape of Good Hope, while Great Engravers highlights the talents of Milos Ondracek, who created hundreds of beautiful stamps for Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. GB Themes details how stamps have celebrated British inventors.
Our news pages have full coverage of Royal Mail’s D-Day anniversary set, and other interesting new issues from around the world, along with the latest highlights from the auction rooms. Elesewhere, our columnists and readers offer their opinions on subjects ranging from British commemorative themes to exotic overseas mailboxes."
