Christmas 2021
Royal Mail celebrates Christmas 2021 with a series of eight stamps, exclusively illustrated by
internationally renowned artist, Jorge Cocco.
According to Royal Mail 'the illustrations this year warmly reflect on key events from the traditional Christmas story, including Mary and Joseph travelling to Bethlehem, Mary and baby Jesus, up to the visit of the three magi observing a star and delivering gifts for the new baby.
The six designs portraying the Nativity are reflective of Cocco’s modern style of painting, illustrating sacred events through post-cubist art.
This year, some of the Christmas Special Stamps will feature barcodes. All the stamps in this issue are self-adhesive. Whilst the Minisheet and Collector sheet stamps images are the same as the individual stamps, the Minisheet and Collector sheet are printed in Litho, the individual stamps are printed in Gravure.
