Robert Burns Commemorative

Under Review

Description: This multi-colored British commemorative postage stamp features a lively illustration of a man and a woman in 18th-century Scottish attire performing a traditional folk dance. Sweeping across the upper left section is the opening line of the famous song "Auld Lang Syne," rendered in an elegant, flowing brown cursive script that reads "Should auld acquaintance be forgot,". The upper right corner bears the classic silver-grey silhouette portrait vignette of Queen Elizabeth II facing left. Clean black block lettering along the bottom border displays the tribute text "ROBERT BURNS 1759-1796", while a large "60" numeric denomination anchors the top left corner.

Circa: 1996-1997

Condition: MNH
