Description
This lot comprises two distinct Royal Mail First Day Covers, issued to commemorate Paddington Bear’s 65th anniversary. Each cover consists of a white paper envelope affixed with a set of stamps, featuring the King Charles III silhouette, and containing an informational insert. The stamps display denominations of “1st,” “£2.00,” and “£2.20,” depicting colorful, illustrative cartoon scenes of Paddington Bear making marmalade, shopping, and traveling with his “WANTED ON VOYAGE” suitcase. All stamps are clearly cancelled with a “FIRST DAY OF ISSUE LONDON 5.9.2023” circular postmark. The accompanying inserts provide contextual information regarding the character’s history, referencing creators Michael Bond and Peggy Fortnum. Both items are crafted from paper and standard philatelic materials.
