In our July issue, we look back on the golden age of the mail coach, from the 1780s until the 1840s, to investigate both the glamour and the danger of transporting letters around the country at unprecedented speed.
We also suggest how to go about forming a postal history collection based on Great Britain’s 1937 Coronation issue, and examine who’s been honoured in the USA’s ongoing Legends of Hollywood series, and just as importantly who’s been missed out.
Elsewhere, you can read about the unusual first pictorial definitives of Bermuda in 1902, the attractive locally-themed designs of the Spanish colony of Rio Muni in the 1960s, and folk customs as an eye-opening theme on British commemoratives.
We have full details of Royal Mail’s new Windmills & Watermills set, and readers’ responses to the Machin 50th anniversary issue, along with all our regular coverage of world news, auction highlights, forthcoming events and new issues.
