During her reign, HM Queen Elizabeth II supported the activities of The Royal Philatelic Society London by permitting parts of the Royal Philatelic Collection to be displayed at the opening meeting of the season ever year, as well as at international exhibitions. As Patron of the Society for 70 years of her reign, The Late Queen was a unifying force in worldwide philately and brought the Society into its position as the pre-eminent philatelic society globally. At key points in the Society's history, Her late Majesty made a point of visiting our London Headquarters, firstly in 1969 on the occasion of the Society's 100th anniversary, and then in 2019, in recognition of the 150th anniversary and in conjunction with the opening of our new London Headquarters. In June 2022, during the celebration of Her Majesty's 70th year on the throne, the Society hosted a worldwide podcast on the engraved stamps issued during her reign. This was the inspiration for a monograph, published as a supplement to the Society's journal, The London Philatelist.
Available as a download, the Supplement to The London Philatelist Volume 133 Whole Number 1515, May 2024 has the title Queen Elizabeth II Worldwide Recess-Printed Issues of Her Majesty The Golden Age of Stamp Design and Production.

This provides an overview of the images of Queen Elizabeth II that have appeared on recess-printed (engraved) stamps, starting with the United Kingdom, then the Dominions followed by the Colonies and Protectorates. Included with the Queen's likeness are issues with the Queen's cypher. This treatise is not intended to be a comprehensive catalogue of all the issued stamps. While all the images of the Queen also appear on stamps printed through surface printed technologies, those non-recessed stamps are not included.
