| REVENUE c1953 Bradbury Wilkinson essay for a QEII £1 revenue duty in a similar design to the issued £1 postage issue. Hand painted in black, grey, red and Chinese white on thin card (85x62mm). The extremely fine detail of the Arms suggest it was printed, though close examination reveals small differences to the issued version such as the lack of a motto in the ribbon and the position of the crown above the lion in the central shield. The arms appear entirely hand painted or hand drawn. An astonishing and most attractive example of the artistry employed by Bradbury Wilkinson. Magnificent and unique. |
