Commemorative issue of ‘Queen’s head’ stamps

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Arnold Machin’s iconic image of the Queen, the Royal Mail has issued a special commemorative miniature sheet, designed by Jeffrey Matthews in conjunction with Together Design.






The sheet also includes a new 1st class stamp, featuring a portrait of Machin himself – the first time the Royal Mail has honoured a stamp designer in this way.
