Abstract: From time to time, a set of stamps is issued by MaltaPost featuring designs by Cedric Galea Pirotta. Cedric started his 'career' with MaltaPost in 2010 with a series dedicated to national treasures. This set featured the Azure Window (17c), the Blue Grotto (5lc), Ta' Cenc (67c) and the islet of Filfla (€1.16). Since then he has produced 15 sets (2010-2015). In such a short span of time, he managed to create designs which were issued, as joint ventures, by MaltaPost with foreign postal authorities - Iceland in 2011 and Curacao two years later.2021-12-01T00:00:00ZThe visits of H R H Queen Elizabeth II to Malta : a philatelic overviewhttps://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1042902022-12-12T07:53:56Z2021-12-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The visits of H R H Queen Elizabeth II to Malta : a philatelic overview
Abstract: Malta is the only place in which the Queen has lived outside the UK, and her time here is perhaps the closest she has come in her adult life to a 'normal' existence. She arrived in 1949 as Princess Elizabeth, newly married to Prince Philip. He was a Naval officer posted to what was then British Malta; she was a naval officer's wife- at least some of the time. The Queen remained Queen of Malta after it was granted Independence in 1964, remaining so until
Malta was made a Republic ten years later. Her portrait still hangs in the official dining room of the Grand Master's Palace, along with the portraits of Malta's Presidents. She has been back to Malta several times since. This exhibit aims to retrace the Queen's visits to these islands through an overview of the stamps, philatelic material issued to mark these visits and other connected commemorative ephemera.2021-12-01T00:00:00ZJournal of the Malta Philatelic Society : no. 50(3) : December 2021https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/1042892022-12-14T12:47:55Z2021-12-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Journal of the Malta Philatelic Society : no. 50(3) : December 2021
