WB Yeats StampCMYK

Launched today.

The An Post W.B Yeats commemorative stamp.

Feargal Purcell writes:

Designed by Irish design company Detail, the stamp is based on an iconic image of the poet from London’s National Portrait Gallery by photographer George C Beresford.

Accompanying the stamp issue is a beautiful First Day Cover (FDC) containing well-loved and remembered lines from the poem ‘Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven’.

‘I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.’

    am i being a philistine but where is the design here? i was only looking at that photo a few minutes ago (looking up the lake isle of inishfree) and from i can see all that’s been done is they have stuck some text on it. I would not call that designing. but good luck to them if they got paid for it
