Stamp Magazine | September 2023
In the September issue of Stamp Magazine we review Spain’s definitive stamps during the regime of General Franco, and the way they portrayed the dictator in different ways at different times.
We also recall the life and times of the Canadian steamships, known as the ‘lady boats’, which carried mail, cargo and passengers to and from the Caribbean in the inter-war period, leaving a fine legacy of British colonial postal history.
Our series on Great Britain’s special issues in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II focuses on the 1964 Shakespeare Festival set, which was radical in what it depicted and in how it was marketed.
Meanwhile, Commonwealth Classics explains how the Libyan province of Cyrenaica squeezed itself into the Commonwealth catalogue, and Strange But True explains how a forgery remained for decades in the Scott catalogue!
Our news pages have full details of Royal Mail’s special issue celebrating River Wildlife, and the unusual printing error which has affected it, as well as a stamp-on-stamp set marking the 50th anniversary of the Isle of Man’s postal independence.
Don’t miss it!
