Sunday Stamps - Romance: Great Britain

 For the romantic amongst you you could not do better than going back to 1476 and reading The Tretyse of Love.

Great Britain - 29 September 1976

The only word I can make out on this is 'passion' - if you are passionate enough to read further it may be available on Project Gutenberg otherwise it might cost you over £1400, a costly present for your Valentine.

It would have been much cheaper just to send a card with this booklet stamp from 2005.

Great Britain - 4 October 2005

Words and Numbers - Sunday Stamps II

The merchant William Caxton was the first person to introduce the printing press to England which he did in 1476. 

The set of stamps to commemorate the 500th anniversary of British printing in 1976 included - 

Great Britain 1976 - The Tretyse of Love

I don't ever remember receiving stamps like these or whether similar ones exist today.

Great Britain - Postage Due  (early decimal)

Some organisations are well known by their initials such as the Trade Union Congress.

Great Britain - 100th Anniversary of the TUC 1968

I started off on the theme of love with Caxton so I'll end with the same thought in mind on greetings stamps from 2002 (I think).

Great Britain 

The Hello stamp is made by an aircraft sky-writing so perhaps it's from a photograph and therefore ineligible for this words and numbers theme.
