Accordingly, the Post Office was then reminded o f the importance o f the approaching Dalton bicentenary in 1966 but, although the stamp was designed by an eminent artist, the subject appears not to have been considered appropriate enough to have come ‘within licking distance o f an envelope’ 448 Gilbert, Sir John and Skill, J.F .
