Designers of Maltese stamps

The designers of Maltese stamps have been creating their works for the last 150 years. The most prolific designer of Maltese stamps was Emvin Cremona, who designed most of Malta's stamps from the late 1950s to the 1970s. Dates indicate the years stamps with the artist's design were used (except for overprints).

In some cases, the design of the stamp is entirely based on old paintings. When this occurred, the artist (such as Giuseppe Calì or Edward Lear) is listed as the stamp designer, even though the stamp was issued years after the painting was made.
