Stamp Magazine | November 2019
In the November issue, we celebrate 75 years of Marianne definitives from France, examining how the concept has evolved and the many contrasting ways in which the republican icon has been represented by different designers.
To coincide with the Rugby World Cup in Japan, we also present a thematic guide to rugby union, finding attractive stamps, covers and postmarks from around the world, representing all the nations which love the sport. And don’t miss our investigation into the various animals which have been used in postal delivery, from horses and dogs to pigeons and (allegedly) cats!
Commonwealth Classics features the 1933 commemorative issue of Sierra Leone, noting the centenary of the end of slavery, while Black Magic recalls the ‘hermetic envelope’ designed in 1840 to allow stamps to double as seals. Great Engravers checks out the legacy of Johann Kaiser, who created the first stamps of the Netherlands.
Our news pages give our verdict on two special issues from Royal Mail, celebrating Elton John and the Cricket World Cup, along with other interesting new releases from around the world. Highlights from the auction rooms include rarities from Cyrpus to Australia, and our columnists and readers offer their opinions on a range of subjects.
