In our March issue, we look back at Great Britain’s EFTA set, issued exactly 50 years ago, and at the missing colour errors which make it so memorable. We also investigate the Jonas Lek case, which was in court in London 90 years ago, fascinating the philatelic world at the time by exploring the theft of what was claimed to be a world-class collection.
Looking further afield, we explain how Argentina’s first home-grown recess-printed issue of 1888 was designed and produced by immigrants from Austria, how Jamaica’s first pictorial stamp of 1900 was turned into a classic by a two-colour reprinting, and why Azerbaijan’s exclave of Nakhichevan released just one pair of stamps and was never heard of again.
There is news of Royal Mail’s 2017 special stamp programme, and full details of the Windsor Castle set and a new £5 Machin definitive, plus all our regular coverage of world news, auction highlights, events and new issues.
