Stamp Magazine  |  Aug-24
In the August issue of Stamp Magazine, we take a tour through the philatelic history of the Saar region, disputed between Germany and France, which issued gritty stamps as three different entities in the space of 40 years from 1919-59.
We also tell the story of Sir Isaac Brock, a British general who is less well known than contemporaries such as Nelson and Wellington but has been celebrated more than once on stamps from Guernsey and Canada.
Commonwealth Classics recalls New Zealand’s Centennial series of 1940, a splendid set of pictorials, while the latest in our series on British commemoratives in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II focuses on the United Nations set of 1965, a breakthrough moment for Jeffery Matthews.
Our coverage from the international auction rooms is dominated by the sale of the William Gross collection, where no fewer than three lots sold for million-dollar price tags. Our news pages feature two special issues from Great Britain, while an opinion column examines how single-stamp commemorative issues fell out of vogue.
