Stamp collection celebrates Manx 'Age of Rebellion'

Collection released in time for Tynwald Day

A series of stamps highlighting the Manx Age of Rebellion will be released by Isle of Man Post Office ahead of Tynwald Day.

From Monday, a set of six stamps focusing on William Christian, also known as Illiam Dhone, and Edward Christian, who played a crucial part in rising against the 7th Earl of Derby, who controlled the Island in the 17th century.

Each stamp features an image designed to replicate centuries-old engraving.

The collection is available as a set, presentation pack and first day cover, as well as a 20-page prestige booklet, from iompost.com/rebellion
