Created as part of a joint issue with SEPAC (Small European Postal Administration Cooperation) entitled ‘Old Maps’, these stamps depict sections of an old map of “Garnsey” (Guernsey) illustrated by John Speed, one of the most famous British cartographers of the 17th century, whose visually stunning county and country maps are highly collectable and sought after around the world.
The stamps depict various sections of Speed’s “Garnsey” map and feature the historic Parish and Island names. The £1.00 stamp bears the SEPAC logo.
