Mary, Queen of Scots (Issued March 18, 2016)

The first day cover of the Mary, Queen of Scots stamp (click on the image for a larger image)

Transcamster Bog issued a stamp depicting a painting of Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587). The painting was by an anonymous artist and based on a miniature portrait of Mary by Nicholas Hilliard, one of the greatest miniature portrait artists of the Elizabethan era. He painted his miniature from life while Mary was in captivity under Queen Elizabeth I of England. 

The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).

Supporters of Houses of Hanover and Windsor, do not worry if our recent stamps have had a Jacobite theme. Transcamster Bog fully supports the reigning monarch and her heirs and successors. Transcamster Bog will issue a stamp to commemorate the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II on April 21, 2016 (albeit after a stamp for the 270th anniversary of the Battle of Culloden on April 12. However, the Battle of Culloden can be considered a Hanoverian victory. As the witches in Macbeth remind us, battles are both lost and won.)
