Stamp Magazine - August 2017
English | 100 pages | True PDF | 22.7 MB

In our August issue, we delve into the postal archives to reveal how close Britain came to producing dedicated airmail stamps in the 1920s and 1930s, and illustrate the essays which were produced at the time. We also look back at one of the larger-than-life owners of the British Guiana 1856 1c magenta, Arthur Hind, and the legend that he ensured its uniqueness by destroying a second stamp. We examine Canada’s classic 1908 Tercentenary of Quebec pictorial issue, the collectability of philatelic souvenirs from the World Athletics Championships, and the growing popularity of television as a theme for GB stamps. You can also read full previews of Royal Mail’s upcoming Landmark Buildings and First World War sets, check out the highlights of recent auctions, and keep up with our regular coverage of world news, stamp issues and events.
