Bletchley Park

A couple of weeks ago we were invited to the re-opening of the Post Office at Bletchley Park. We've designed a few of the first day covers sold in the Post Office, all Bletchley themed. We were delighted to attend, the weather was glorious and the Post Office looked great! Lovely to see our covers in situ too!

Great British Fashion Stamp Covers

We were recently asked by Bletchley Park to design a first day cover for a new set of stamps designed around Great British Fashion. The design was to have a 1940's theme related to fashion and to Bletchey Park itself. We took inspiration from the work of iconic fashion illustrator René Gruau also working around this time, and created a glamourous wartime code breaker against a very British backdrop.

As well as creating the covers, we designed a stamp cancel (below).

  

The beautiful stamps shown here were designed by Johnson Banks.
