To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Shakespeare Company, a new set of Shakespeare stamps is being produced that showcases iconic images from their performances.
First up is David Tennant’s Hamlet, which will surely get all the love – but personally I’d like to see the 1976 Ian McKellen stamp from Romeo & Juliet, which they seem to have banished to airmail.
Anybody know if a list has been published that shows all of them? Ideally, with pictures? The linked article contains only a picture of the Tennant stamp.
UPDATED: I originally thought that this was a set of 50 stamps, that is apparently not correct. More details to follow.
UPDATED AGAIN : Look what I got! Thanks to Andrew Boyers from RoyalMailStamps for the goods! Which is your favorite? I think I love them all. I love the Lear quote, it goes great with the pose. And look at the hair on Sir Ian!

Thos are brilliant! It's hard to choose a favorite. I love The Tempest and Henry. Of course Midsummer is beautiful, too.
Oh! My favorite is Midsummer's. But I am very biased toward it.
