2002. 🇮🇲 Isle Of Man To Commemorate Local Stamp Designer And Artist.

 












🇮🇲 Isle Of Man Post Office, having already announced one new issue for 2022 (Chinese new year) has now released details of its second excursion of 2022 into the pockets of any loyal collectors of its stamps that it still has left.

  The issue, due on 23 February 2022, will take the form of an 8 stamp set (4 se-tenant pairs) which features the pleasing art of local artists, the late Nancy Corkish and David Byrne, who lived together in the last house on the road before The Sound at Creigneash. Nancy Corkish died in 2021 and as her work included some charming Manx stamp designs, including the ‘Cats’ set of 1996, this issue is intended as a tribute to her and a celebration of the couple’s partnership and collaboration. Well, I’ve heard of worse reasons for a stamp issue.

  The issue was designed by Icon Imaging and features paintings by the couple and was lithographed by Cartor and the stamps are perforated 13. All in all, a lovely and worthwhile issue. Rating:- *****.
