'It is said that this image is the most used image that the world has ever seen.'
The Queen was shown various postal paraphernalia during a visit to The Royal Philatelic Society London in 2019
From the start of her reign in 1952 until 1967, British stamps featured a picture of the Queen by photographer Dorothy Wilding "George V was a very fine philatelist, made a lot of collections and they are now known as the Royal Philatelic Collection. It belongs to the Queen personally, it's not part of the nation's stuff, it's her own," says Mr Cockburn.The cast of the Queen made by Arnold Machin has continued to be used as the basis for British stamps since 1967
In 1969, she helped celebrate the society's centenary, and then she dropped in again just before the pandemic began in November 2019 to open the new building - on both occasions signing the same visitors book. In 2017, Royal Mail estimated the Machin portrait had been reprinted more than 220 billion times around the world in a huge variety of colours and denominations, meaning it has become its own iconic piece of art.
