Festival Of Britain 1951 – 4 Unused Postage Stamps

Four original connected, unused postage stamps issued for the Festival Of Britain in 1951.

The Festival was a nationwide celebration of British art, science, design and industry, intended to lift the spirits of a country still recovering from the Second World War.

A neat and affordable piece of 1951 memorabilia that sits well alongside programmes and souvenirs from the festival year.
