Description: The artifact is a 26p commemorative postage stamp issued by the Royal Mail as part of their comprehensive Millennium Projects collection. The photographic vignette showcases the historic Garratt Steam Locomotive No. 143 billowing clouds of white steam as it snakes along the Rheilffordd Eryri (the Welsh Highland Railway) through the scenic landscapes of Snowdonia in North Wales. In accordance with standard British philatelic tradition, a subtle silver silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II is elegantly integrated into the upper left corner, while the crisp "26" decimal denomination anchors the bottom right. The right margin bears the bilingual text "Millennium 2000" and "Rheilffordd Eryri / Snowdonia" printed vertically in a clean sans-serif typeface.
Circa: 2000
