When CSI is the perfect television series to follow closely the investigation of all kinds of crimes, Agatha Christie is the author par excellence for this type of reading, apart from everything that surrounds the world of mystery concerning a murder.
Just one hundred years ago, Agatha Christie completed her first published novel, The mysterious case of Styles. To celebrate, Royal Mail UK has created a series of six new commemorative stamps celebrating one of Christie's best-known works.
Although simplify all 80 titles The famous mystery writer seems like a commendable task, the stamp makers have made a very good selection of them.
Designed by Studio Southerland and illustrated by Neil Webb, the stamps are a artistic piece perfect for any stamp collector worth his salt. The images feature their own hidden mysteries that artists encourage collectors and those who keep sending letters to uncover them.
The most iconic scene in this series is the one related to The Mysterious Affair of Styles, where you can find his most popular detectives, Hercules Poirot and Arthur Hastings, examining a bottle of poison that has a smaller reproduction of their brand image.
A series of stamps in which black and gray predominate over all those more vivid used for typography and different visual elements such as the portrait of Agatha herself. Stamps of mystery and crime that bring back memories of these novels by this famous British author and who have served as inspiration for many other authors. An iconic symbol of what was the twentieth century and that now endures through TV series that obviously follow that format.
