Stamp Magazine | September 2017
In our September issue, we relive the exciting year of 1919, when daredevil pilots were vying to be first to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, and Newfoundland was busy creating overprints for the mail they would carry on board. We also investigate the many propaganda stamps released by other nations in support of the stateless Palestinians, and follow five of the most successful British stamp issues of the 1980s and 1990s from concept to fruition, courtesy of the design team behind them. You can read retrospectives of Tasmania’s classic pictorial definitives of 1899, the attractive issues of the Spanish colony of Ifni, and British stamps on the theme of gardens and gardening. Meanwhile, our news pages have details of Royal Mail’s latest special issue, celebrating classic toys, and stamps with very political messages from North Korea, Gibraltar and Hong Kong.
