Issued by Great Britain in 1970, this enchanting Christmas set features three beautifully stylized angels inspired by medieval sculpture. Each design, rendered in vibrant textile textures by artist Faith Jaques, portrays a celestial figure: the 2½d Angel in red robes, the 3d Angel playing a lute, and the 7½d Angel with a harp. The stamps combine spiritual symbolism with traditional craftsmanship, reflecting Britain’s artistic and religious heritage during the festive season. They remain among the most beloved British Christmas issues for their warmth, elegance, and unique design approach.
