In celebration of the Black History Month UK, the world's leading stamp emporium, Stanley Gibbons is hosting (for the second year running) an exhibition based on the stamp collection of award winning African-Caribbean creative Jon Daniel. Classically trained as a graphic designer, Jon has worked primarily as an art director for many of London's leading advertising agencies. Currently, Jon is working both independently and with partners on a variety of commissioned and self-initiated branding, design and cultural projects.

This unique display of fifty stamps, specially selected from Jon's personal collection and the archives of Stanley Gibbons has been created to celebrate Jamaica's historic fiftieth anniversary of independence.
