    For some reason or another we do not seem to issue stamps of famous people like this. The only live people on British stamps seem to be royalty.

    I like the simplicity of this stamp design... the personality still shines through.

    It is not the first time I read it, but I really love the title of the series "Difference makers".

    I like the use of pointillism, sharpening the further away I look.

    I agree with the previous comments: the pointillistic design is great in its simplicity, and a serie named 'Difference makers' is so good and interesting!
    Thank you for sharing!
