Stamp Magazine  |  Oct-16
In the September issue of Stamp Magazine, we mark the 100th anniversary of the battlefield tank by investigating the potential for a thematic collection, and look behind the scenes at the proposed Anglo-French joint stamp issue of 1940 to find out how close it came to fruition.
We also reassess the strengths and weaknesses of Australia’s 1988 bicentennial definitive series, and the design and usage of the Falkland Islands’ opulent 1898 high values. And you can read the story behind a classic stamp of Barbados and the brief catalogue entry for the Portuguese colony of Tete.
Our GB Collector section has full previews of two new stamp issues, commemorating the Great Fire of London and the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie, and there’s all our regular coverage of world news, auction highlights, diary dates and new issues.
