Each detailed building illustration offers an insight into the island’s past through architecture.
British artist Jenny Costello illustrated the stamps using a mixed-media combination of watercolour, line drawing, and digital finishing.
The collection features buildings from the boom of the milling industry that led to various mill houses (two of which are featured in the issue), to the construction of traditional barracks following a threat of invasion after the Battle of Jersey.
Jersey’s architecture is uniquely influenced by both British and French design, as well as local architects’ own unique twists.
An example of this influence can be seen in 16 New Street - on one of the stamps - which was built around 1730.
The architecture of the building has been described as a blend of Jersey vernacular and Georgian classical architecture with rendered walls, limewashed and scoured in imitation of masonry.
