Stamp Magazine  |  September 2019
"In the September issue, we mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Napoleon Bonaparte, by examing how a thematic collection can represent his extraordinary life story.
We also investigate why so many Edwardian postcards incurred postage due, when they were supposed to be a cheap form of communication, and why the postal history of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands is so complex, when it’s such a tiny territory.
Our new series investigating Penny Black covers continues with evidence of the health scare over licking gum, while Commonwealth Classics studies Barbados’ powerful Victory issue of 1920 and Great Engravers illustrates exactly why Czeslaw Slania earned such a reputation as a stamp artist.
Our news pages have full details of Royal Mail’s Forests set, and details of its plans to celebrate England’s victory in the Cricket World Cup (with a twist). And we flag up other interesting new issues from around the world, from France to Singapore, and highlights from the auction rooms, including a million-dollar stamp. As ever, our columnists and readers offer their forthright opinions on a wide range of subjects."
