A-Z Great Britain
A-Z Great Britain
A 26-stamp series depicting significant landmarks around the United Kingdom, alphabetically. The 26 1st class stamps were issued in two parts, with a set of 12 (A-L) on 13 October 2011 and a further 14 stamps (M-Z) on 10 April 2012.
For each letter of the alphabet an iconic landmark of the UK is assigned, ranging from ancient to modern and from spiritual to spectacular; but each has an essential presence in the nation’s fabric. The stamps were printed in two sheets, each having 6 columns, this enabled multiples of the same design/location to be purchased without the expensive of buying the whole set/sheet.
The stamp policy team extensively researched UK gazetteers and drew up the list of potential subjects which were supplied to the designer. Using a mixture of specially commissioned and library photography the final line up was assembled and agreed taking into consideration the need to represent each of the four countries of the UK.
