re Jennifer Toombs
Does anyone know of any site or listing of the stamp designs of Jennifer
Toombs? A book was produced about 20 years ago on her work titled Toombsiana Topics but I have been unable to track down a copy. Was there ever a study group based on her designs? Any help will be most appreciated. Rob McGuinness |

Blair has offered her Country work. I have snippets, photos etc spread over 10 years of "Stamp News" would take some extraction, but if you are doing a study, I'd dig them out for you. Another avenue is the circa 1977 "Seven Seas" stamp catalogue, which are a mine of info, colour plates with designer info, I may have a spare copy, if you care to send duplicate stamps to cover postage. IIRC she is the designer of the Pitcairn "burning stamps" issue. Rod. |

It would be interesting to also uncover her underground label designs, no doubt you are aware of. She may have designed these: An old Viking name "Skilda" meaning "shields." http://cjoint.com/data/jddw0d6h1U.htm She designed a ship set, including a Viking longship for Herm Island as well. |

Her Jersey set is 15 in number to 2002 from the Jersey Bulletin 2002 http://cjoint.com/data/jdoolOw6HG.htm In 1987 she designed some very nice Viking stamps comm 900th death anniv of William the conqueror. It shows the Viking King Rollo (not known Danish or Norwegian) receiving land around the mouth of the River Seine in 911, he was given Rouen and surrounding countryside, (as protection against other Vikings) The land later became Normandy (land of the Northmen) Rollo possibly became baptised, and this became the basis of the Duchy of Normandy. a really neat stamp fro a set I have yet to find. http://cjoint.com/data/jdoAvtiZ1r.htm |

My references were taken from Rosedahl Professor in Medieval Archaeology, University of Athus, Denmark. also Special Professor in Viking studies in Nottingham University. Here is what she said in 1990. The chieftain Rollo and his descendants consolidated their power and extended their dominions in Normandy, a feat unmatched by other chieftains in Western Europe, and many Scandinavians settled in this rich and fertile country. Legends about the early rulers were written in the early eleventh century by the priest Dudo, but there are few facts. It is not even known whether Rollo was of Danish or Norwegian origin - the question has given rise to considerable debate. Dudo says he was Danish, but later Norwegian-Icelandic literature claims he was the son of the Norwegian Earl Rognvald of M0re, who was also the ancestor of the earls of Orkney. The name of Rollo's daughter, Geirlaug, has also contributed to the debate. It was thought to be a Norwegian name but recent research indicates it was Common Norse. This destroys the most important argument for Rollo being of Norwegian origin. William the conqueror thus conceivably be Danish Rod. |
