Stamp Magazine  |  October 2017
In our October issue, we mark the 60th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, by looking back on how it was commemorated on stamps at the time, and repeatedly in later years by the Soviet Union. A special feature nominates the 12 least successful stamps ever issued by Great Britain, when promising design concepts failed to be converted into attractive issues. On the brighter side, however, we review one of the busiest and most popular theses for GB stamps, that of postal services. Elsewhere, you can read the stories behind the first issue of St Christopher, in 1870, and the only issue of Thessaly, in 1898, while our news pages have Royal Mail’s latest special issue, celebrating Ladybird Books, and interesting new releases from Tristan da Cunha, the Falkland Islands, France and Italy.Events information, auction highlights and forthright opinions are part of the mix, as always.
