To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen's novel Pride And Prejudice, the Royal Mail has just issued a set of stamps with newly commissioned artwork by Angela Barrett. The stamps are absolutely charming and come in a special presentation pack which includes historical details.
Each stamp depicts a scene from one of her 6 novels. Two first-class stamps have illustrations from Pride And Prejudice and Sense And Sensibility; images from Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion make up the six-stamp set.
I am sorry these have all gone now.

These new Jane Austen stamps are quite wonderful...how I wish that over here in the States, more artists were allowed to design our stamps.
