Issued by Great Britain in 1987, this 71½p Christmas stamp features a vivid depiction of the “Three Kings on the Road to Bethlehem,” inspired by medieval stained glass art from Canterbury Cathedral. The design captures the Magi riding on horseback, richly robed and bearing gifts, rendered in jewel-like colors that echo the craftsmanship of Gothic church windows. The green panel to the right bears the gold profile of Queen Elizabeth II, a hallmark of British definitive style. This issue is part of the 1987 Christmas series celebrating the artistry of stained glass and the Nativity story.
