Stamp Magazine  |  June 2022
In our June issue we test Vladimir Putin’s claim that Ukraine is not a real country. And we find plenty of philatelic evidence that proves him wrong, including distinctive stamp issues since 1918 and intriguing postal history to back them up.
We also publish an extract from a new book investigating the philatelic collection of The Postal Museum. Our taster focuses on stamps which were prepared or planned but not issued, some of them famous and others less so.
Our new monthly series on Britain’s commemoratives from the early years of Queen Elizabeth II studies the Jubilee Jamboree issue of 1957, while Commonwealth Classics recalls the 1906 Bahamas set honouring Admiral Nelson. Our third regular series, Victoriana, examines a transatlantic cover of 1863, with 12 stamps and more than 20 cancellations.
Our news pages have full details of Royal Mail’s special issues celebrating Migratory Birds and Women of World War II, how the philatelic community is continuing to support Ukraine, and football stamps in Roy Of The Rovers style.
