In the May issue we look back half a century to investigate why Great Britain’s stamp-issuing programme in 1968 was so different from previous and subsequent years. We also investigate the curious discounted stamps used in Belgium in the post-war period, to see why they came in so many varieties. We offer a thematic guide to ghosts, which appear on stamps mostly thanks to obscure local folklore or world-famous literature, while our regular GB Themes feature looks at World Heritage Sites. The Commonwealth Classics slot features the first issue of Sierra Leone, while the Great Engravers series showcases the exquisite portraiture of Bohumul Heinz, for Czechoslovakia and the British colonies. Our new series on postal history continues with an eyewitness account from the American War of Independence. In our news pages you will find full details of Royal Mail’s Reintroduced Species set, as well as interesting new issues from around the world.
