Stamp Magazine - December 2024
In dieser Angelegenheit
In the December issue of Stamp Magazine, we examine the difficult subject of Nazi propaganda on the stamps of the Third Reich. To what extent did party propaganda infuse the stamp programme? Did it magnify over time? How subtle or blatant was it? Are there subliminal messages in apparently harmless stamps?
On a completely different note, we take a thematic look at stamps and postal history featuring the Ice Age animal most closely linked to the British Isles. The so-called ‘Irish elk’ was not limited to Ireland, nor was it an elk, but an enormous deer, with the biggest antlers ever known.
Our regular Commonwealth Classics feature considers the King Edward VII series of the Turks & Caicos Islands, with its distinctive motif of a cactus, while our series on British commemoratives in the early years of Queen Elizabeth II features the 1966 Landscapes set, the first truly thematic issue and the first to feature a cameo portrait of the monarch.
Our news pages dissect two new sets from Royal Mail, celebrating The Who and Christmas, flag up intriguing new issues from around the world and highlight the most stunning lots from the latest auctions. Meanwhile, our opinion columns suggest cunning strategies to keep your albums and pages matching, and point out some glaring omissions in Great Britain’s philatelic coverage of flora and fauna.
Don’t miss it!
