The Isle of Man Post Office is set to release its latest stamp collection which celebrates Archibald Knox.
The Order & Beauty collection celebrates the life and work of one of the Isle of Man’s most influential cultural icons.
This set of ten stamps has been created in collaboration with Manx National Heritage and the Archibald Knox Forum to mark the KNOX: Order & Beauty exhibition.
Archibald Knox
The exhibition runs from April 5 for twelve months at the Manx Museum and explores Knox’s artistic journey, his profound connection to the Isle of Man, and his role as a pioneer in modern design.
His work for Liberty & Co., including the renowned Cymric and Tudric ranges, combined Celtic-inspired patterns with the modern aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Each of the ten stamps in this collection features a carefully chosen piece from Knox’s vast body of work, showcasing his extraordinary versatility and artistic brilliance.
Stamp Collection
The Archibald Knox: Order & Beauty stamp collection has been designed by EJC Design and features imagery from the Manx National Heritage Collection, the Peartree Collection, and private collections.
The Archibald Knox: Order & Beauty stamp issue is issued on February 27 but is available for pre-order now.
A range of products will be available, including the stamp set, First Day Cover, Presentation Pack, Prestige Booklet, and booklet panes, making it the perfect choice for collectors and fans of Knox’s work.
