Actually the stamps are all from original paintings by Graham Turner that Osprey have used. I have several of his prints and you can get prints of his paintings from here

OK, I realize they are just describing the postal rates, but somehow listing Tewkesbury and Bosworth as "2nd Class" doesn't seem quite right. There is something exciting about seeing the lilies of France quartered with the lions of England, though. Grelber |

Battle of Edgecote Moor – where? Maybe Danes Moor or the Battle of Edgcote or even Banbury… I refer our esteemed postal service to link Ho hum 9/10 though and 10/10 for the art work. |
