Mr. Punch in the Arts: Punch & Judy Postage Stamps

Punch & Judy on the Web

You know you’re really an integral part of a country’s heritage when you get your face on a postage stamp. Of course, Mr. Punch is the most important wooden-headed bloke in Britain and has been for hundreds of years. So, it’s only natural that our Mr. Punch and his unusual companions would find their visages on stamps at some point.


In 2001, The Royal Mail created a line of “Mr. Punch” themed postage stamps. A limited edition set of “First Day” covers was also created. I’m not a stamp collector, but I wouldn’t mind having some of these.
