Hello and welcome to the Stanley Gibbons 'Mini-Talks' Theatre. Our teams have created a number of short videos discussing items or areas of philately that we hope you'll find interesting. There are four different talks in the theatre with our showcase presentation in screen 1, looking back at the 'Queen Elizabeth's II Platinum Jubilee Exhibition'. We have tried to offer something or everyone so please, make a cup of tea, get comfortable, and enjoy the show! Thank you.
To celebrate Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we look back at the exhibition hosted to celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. It offered an introductory story telling of the monarch's reign through stamps.
How do you collect and deliver mail at 75mph?! Oscar Young, Specialist Auction Describer, introduces us to the high risk world of the Travelling Post Office (TPO) with a little help from our friends at Hornby international.
Collecting postal history allows you to trace the experience of the people who lived through it. Philatelist Edward Barrow gives us an insight into the stories of the Caribbean workers who built the Panama Canal.
George James dives into the collection of one of the world's most iconic printers of British Empire Stamps, De La Rue. This archive contains surviving material showing the full production process from start to finish.
