Additional Information

Following on from the stamp set issued in January this year 100 Years of Gerald Durrell: Conservation, this set focuses more on the person behind the legacy. To gain an understanding of who Gerald was, the Jersey Post Philatelic team met up with Gerald Durrell’s widow, Lee Durrell and Archivist Catherine Kirby who were incredibly helpful in providing insight into Gerald Durrell.

Upon looking through the archive, Gerald’s playful nature could be seen throughout the documented meeting notes, letters and diary entries which included a number of doodles, affectionately renamed zoodles. To inject an element of his fun personality to the stamps, the ‘zoodles’ have been imposed over the photographs.
