Stamp Magazine | May-25
In the May issue of Stamp Magazine, we survey the stamps and postal history of Persia from 1868 to 1935, before it changed its name to Iran. It’s a story of two motifs, the Persian lion and portraits of the Shah, amid the recurring theme of attempting to modernise the country.
We also focus on a remarkable photograph, taken in 1910 at the funeral of King Edward VII, which features no fewer than nine kings in the same room. It hadn’t happened before and it would never happen again, but what became of these monarchs and what is their philatelic legacy?
Our regular Commonwealth Classics slot focuses on Ceylon’s 1872 decimal series, while our ongoing series on British commemoratives in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II recalls the 1966 Battle of Hastings set, historic in more ways than one.
Our news pages preview EuroPhilEx, the UK’s international exhibition in the Midlands, and report on the latest stamps and collectables from Royal Mail and interesting new issues from around the world. Meanwhile, our opinion columns discuss the future of the Royal Philatelic Collection and the collecting boom in China.
Don’t miss it!
