British Design Classics:Stamps from the Royal Mail
British designs that have stamped an indelible impression on the collective culture of Britain are depicted on a new set of stamps issued by the Royal Mail.
The Royal Mail says of this fine set of postage stamps destined to be design classics in their own right in the world of philately:
“From the distinctive lines of RJ Mitchell’s Spitfire fighter and the stylish chic of Mary Quant’s daring mini skirt to the calm of the Penguin Books jacket and the practicality of Robin Day’s Polypropylene chair. But there’s one that remains close to millions of people’s hearts – the Mini. In 1959 the first Mini rolled off the production lines at the British Motor Corporation’s plants at Longbridge, Birmingham and Cowley in Oxford.”
