Tales of Saint Helier - £1.25 Sheet

£12.50

The sheet of 10 stamps from the ‘Tales of Saint Helier’ issue. The beautiful illustrations were designed by Becca Thorne a UK artist who specialises in linocut prints inspired by the wildlife and flora of the British Isles.
Tales of Saint Helier illustrates the most common story in Jersey’s Patron Saint and features key moments of his life, including his miraculous birth, his journey to the island and how he inspired those around him, becoming a martyr and leaving a lasting legacy.

The stamp sheets give the discerning collector access to all the printer’s marks and any additional information on the selvedge. The selvedge includes the traffic lights which is a term used by collectors to denote the check dots (or colour dabs) printed in the sheet margins of stamps printed by modern offset litho or photogravure methods. They assist in checking that all the colours have printed correctly.

Most of our selvedge sheets also contain a plate number; a numeral, occasionally with a letter suffix, usually inscribed on the sheet margins to denote the plate from which the stamps were printed - for example 1A. All of our mint/cto products are carefully prepared by our own team and supplied in glassine bags to ensure you receive them in pristine condition.
