Carefully Crafted Coronation
Andrew Davidson has created the four stamps for the Coronation of HM King Charles III.
The stamps depict the coronation, the Commonwealth, sustainability, diversity and community. This project has been in the making for quite some time, a collaboration with Marcus James of Royal Mail and Ian Chilvers of Atelier Design. Included below are the woodblocks themselves which Andrew used to create these traditional engravings.
“ The challenge was to reduce so many important ideas and abstract concepts onto four 23mm square serrated pieces of paper, and still make them work as a set of stamps, but that’s my job."
“If there was one job I aspired to work on, it was this one. It was a huge responsibility, but an honour and a privilege”
