26th August will be the 63rd Anniversary of Vaughan Williams's death; here is a stamp that was issued to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of his birth (on 12th October 1972). I remember the stamp being issued then:

"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

Thank you for posting that stamp and the photo behind it Jeffrey!  So, did you buy and set aside any of those stamps?   :)

I'm sure that I did PD but it was almost 50 years ago and I can't remember. Hopefully there is a Treasure Chest in the attic somewhere with them hidden away.

So, was that card tucked inside of a tin or affixed to the outside of it?
