Christmas Robin on Holly

Under Review

Description: This individual horizontal postage stamp showcases a vibrant, highly detailed naturalistic illustration of a European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) perched gracefully on a pale green garden railing. The bird features a soft brown back, a stark white belly, and its signature fiery orange-red breast plumage. Behind the avian subject is a dense, textured background composed of sharp, interlocking green holly leaves accented by small clusters of bright red winter berries on the left. The upper left corner displays the clear numeric face value "25", while the upper right corner frames a silver-grey profile silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II. The vertical left margin carries a microscopic vertical date inscription reading "1995 ©", and the entire piece remains in an unissued, mint condition state with sharp, clean paper perforations lining all four sides.

Circa: 1995

Condition: MNH
