The Magna Carta was granted by King John of England on 15 June 2015, establishing that the king was subject to the law rather than being above it. To commemorate its 800th anniversary, Royal Mail issued in 2015 a set of six stamps. They feature texts from Magna Carta, and other charters, bills and declarations that have developed the rule of law around the world.

For the current round of Sunday Stamps A-Z I am showing stamps dedicated to women. You can see here all the Women on Stamps featured on this blog.
Go to Sunday Stamps to enjoy more G-stamps.
Great contribution to today's theme!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been an excellent contribution for the letter 'E' as well: equality and empowerment, an essential and ethical stamp emission :-)
I love the design of this stamp, both text and illustrations.
I like the design of the set.
DeleteMost stamps could fit in several letters. Then, it's so difficult to find stamps for X! :)
Took a long time to get to that ambition from 1215.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure we are still there.
DeleteGreat stamp for your current A to Z of women.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt took us until 2013 at least to recognise this. Fine stamp.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bob. It was nice to get this on a letter.
DeleteIt is sometimes shocking how recent many of these laws actually are!
ReplyDeleteReally shocking, indeed.
