2025EuroPhilEx Limited Edition Exhibition Sheet - Collectibles

This Exhibition sheet commemorates the introduction of two stamps following the end of the Second World War. The 21⁄2d and 3d stamps were issued in 1946 to mark the nation’s victory celebrations, with the theme ‘Symbols of Peace and Restoration’. Various artists were invited to submit ideas for the stamps and after much deliberation, work by Edmund Dulac and H L Palmer was favoured and taken to essay stage before being approved by King George. Postal Historians will be interested to note some of the other designs which were considered for issue but not taken forward. In honour of the 1946 British victory celebrations, paired with each design is the commemorative Union Flag First Class stamp. Available for the first time at EuroPhilEx stamp exhibition and issued on 7 May 2025 Numbered, limited edition of 5000
