Stamp Magazine | Sep-24
In the September issue of Stamp Magazine, we investigate the stamps and postal history of Venezuela, a country often overlooked but with some unusual solutions to definitive stamp subjects, anti-forgery measures and using philately to make political points.
We also take a deep dive into crocodile-infested waters to see how the various species of crocs, alligators, caimans and their cousins have been celebrated on stamps from the countries they call home.
Our regular Commonwealth Classics feature considers the 1913 pictorial series of Zanzibar, with its nautical theme, while the latest in our series on British commemoratives in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II focuses on the 1965 ITU set, wrestling with the problem of how to illustrate telecommunications at stamp size.
The news pages cover the British stamp with an asking price of £650,000, competing stamps from both halves of Cyprus on the 50th anniversary of partition, and intriguing new issues from around the world. Our opinion columns discuss the possible implications of a takeover of Britain’s postal service, and reasons to embrace ‘popular culture’ issues that you instinctively don’t like!
Don’t miss it!
