BRITISH GUIANA – THE JUBILEE ISSUE
from the collection of Simon Greenwood, FRPSL
A composite essay of the 15 cents Queen Victoria Jubilee issue.
In 1897 it was decided to issue stamps to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Silver Jubilee. Unfortunately the
decision was taken too late and the stamps were issued the following year. But they were worth waiting for!
There is a variety of material available to illustrate the development of the issued stamps. This display shows
cut down die proofs, colour trials, the most attractive composite essays, touched up by hand and Composite
Artist’s Proofs.
The issued stamp is shown including the scarce 2 cents imperforate between, large blocks and examples on
cover.
