Description: This original, uncancelled British special commemorative stamp carries a face value of 63p. Issued by the Royal Mail, the piece honors Lewis Carroll's classic Victorian literary masterpiece, Through the Looking-Glass. The central artwork, beautifully executed by artist Peter Malone, colorfully illustrates a dynamic scene where the Red Queen clasps Alice by the hand as they rush together through a fantastical garden setting. Alice is depicted in her iconic blue and white dress, while the Red Queen flies forward draped in a flowing, deep crimson gown, leaving a small, spotted rocking-horse fly resting on the golden grass below. A clean, gold-foil silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II sits elegantly in the top right corner, while the vertical text "Through the Looking-Glass / LEWIS CARROLL" is crisply printed along the left edge.
