The newest collection by the
Royal Mail First Day Cover is dedicated to Landscape Gardens, The Genius of
Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. The name Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (1716-83) has
become synonymous with the 18th century landscape garden. His trademark
park formula, with its sweeping lawns and stands of ancient oak reflected in
vast lakes, continues to influence our vision of a pastoral England. Each of
these eight stamps commemorates different aspect of this great achievement.
These eight stamps depict the landscape gardens from: Blenheim Palace,
Longleat, Compton Verney, Highclere Castle, Alnwick Castle, Berrington Hall,
Stowe and Croome Park.
