Stamp Magazine - December 2016
この問題で
In the December issue of Stamp Magazine, we consider the philatelic legacy of the Victorian railways, by investigating the stamps, covers, labels, stationery and postcards of the Great Northern Railway, which connected London with York. We also examine the thematic potential of pioneering female aviators, many of whom became worldwide celebrities and have been richly commemorated on postage stamps.
An eye-opening feature presents covers and letters of November 7-8, 1918, when many American civilians and servicemen were taken in by the ‘false armistice’, and thought the Great War was over when it wasn’t.
Elsewhere, we revisit the unusual first definitive issue of the Pitcairn Islands, tell the story of the forgotten stamp-issuing country of Upper Yafa, and examine how the theme of astronomy has been attractively treated on British stamps.
Our GB Collector section has full details of the Christmas issue, and there’s all our regular coverage of world news, auction highlights, diary dates and new issues.
