Description
A collection of 19 first day covers from Great Britain and the Isle of Man, presented in a blue album with individual clear-pocket pages, included in the sale. Illustrated envelopes, commemorative stamps and dated cancellations bring together a varied selection of subjects, with numerous 1986 issues visible in the photographs.
Great Britain examples pictured include Halley’s Comet, Industry Year, Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th birthday, nature conservation, Medieval Life and sport. Christmas covers add seasonal illustrations and different stamp and cancellation arrangements.
The Isle of Man selection shown includes Manx Museum 1886–1986, the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games, Europa 86, Myles Standish and the Mayflower, the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Royal Birthdays 1986 and Victorian Scenes. These are Isle of Man stamp issues, rather than Jersey issues; many envelopes carry a Harry Allen New Issues small sticker with an address in Jersey.
