the range representing Shakespeare's plays

Chris Ede works on a set of William Shakespeare stamps for Jersey Post.

Chris's graphic and textured designs have been used on the full range of stamps including the First Day Cover, presentation packs and individual stamps of various values. The Miniature Sheet features 'an iconic portrait of the famous poet and playwright. Artistic representations of some of William Shakespeare's most famous plays are presented on a set of six stamps accompanying this issue featuring: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream' - seen above. Great art for your stamp collection or your letter to post!

Sally Diamond at Jersey Post said of Chris's work "Chris created the illustrations for our stamp issue to commemorate William Shakespeare’s 450th birthday. His dynamic representations of some of Shakespeare’s most famous plays create moods of tragedy, murder, lust and corruption perfectly to suit the themes. Chris is an absolute delight to work with."
