UK Citizens Tale Equal Rights

Under Review

Description: This 19-penny commemorative postage stamp was issued by the Royal Mail as part of the Millennium Series, specifically anchoring the "Citizens' Tale" collection that honored milestones in human and civil rights. Designed by artist N. Kerr, the visual layout depicts a woman confined behind a cell window—symbolizing the activist imprisonment that fueled the movement—set alongside a placard reading "VOTES FOR WOMEN". Running vertically on the left side are the powerful words "DEEDS NOT WORDS," the iconic battle cry of the Women's Social and Political Union. The design is beautifully balanced by a silver cameo silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II in the upper left corner and clear project text on the right border.

Circa: 1999

Condition: MNH
