Persuasions #5, 1983 Page 51 JANE AUSTEN COMMEMORATIVE STAMPS
Some members may not be aware that in 1975 the British post office issued commemorative stamps to mark the bicentenary of JA’s birth. The Scott catalogue number is: G.N. 754-57. Even if one is not a philatelist, the stamps are decorative additions to any Jane Austen collection. (Thanks to Clifford Collier of Toronto for drawing this to our attention.)
