Fight against Climate Change

Pictures caught by Chris Killip

A series of eight stamps, featuring the work of internationally renowned photographer Chris Killip, will be issued in April. Chris Killip, a Manxman, who is currently Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University, captured a number of photographic images of the Isle of Man and its country people which was published in book form in 1980. The work is unique because it documents in visual form a record of an Island which was in change and has now gone forever.
