“Trouble with Tariffs” is Chris King’s one-frame exhibit relating to British history, using picture postcards in an A3 format setup — a fine example of promoting philately through imagination and creativity.
It focuses on the campaign in 1903 for tariff reform led by Joseph Chamberlain, a prominent Conservative politician, which split the government and triggered a political realignment that reshaped early 20th-century British politics with far-reaching consequences.
The exhibit was awarded first place in this year’s Devonshire Bowl competition, demonstrating how much it was appreciated by visitors to RPSL on the day, who had the right to vote for the winning exhibits.

BEPHILA 2026 is more than a Bilateral Competitive Exhibition!
The organising team has already been asked several times by collectors who are not members of the BDPh or the Swedish Federation SFF whether they too can take part in the exhibition. The clear answer to this question is: YES!!
In accordance with the show regulations, members of other FIP member associations can also participate in BEPHILA 2026, subject to the show management’s approval. However, only Swedish exhibitors will have a commissioner at their disposal. Interested parties from other countries are required to register in person with the German show organiser without a commissioner. The required application form can be found on the exhibition website.
We’ve received the following announcement from the PTS and Stampex:
Every year, we print thousands of postcards to give out FREE to visitors at Stampex in London. This year, we are giving you the chance to design the front of our postcard! You can use any tools you like – from digital art tools to real life paint brushes, pencils, or decoupage! Your name will be featured on the back of every postcard printed and we’ll celebrate your design across our social media channels and Newsletters. You’ll also receive 25 copies of your postcard for you to send to friends and family!
What would your perfect postcard design be? Judges will be looking for: originality, creativity, a link to philately/ postal history, and a design that inspires collectors to want to send the postcard!
