There Will Always Be an England (Map of England Collage of Pre-decimal Queen Elizabeth II Stamps)

S. l. (Tiverton): By the author, 1957. Very good. Collage of die-cut stamps on a white stock, affixed to a larger card stock sheet, 1957 - 1963; map approx. 8 1/2 x 4 1/2; sheets 10 x 7 and 10 3/4 x 8 1/4; subtitled and initialed in manuscript in black ink; two very minor spots and a slight ripple to bottom margin of paper; in very good to near fine condition.A wonderful, somewhat quirky design - vintage, yet bearing a distinctive modern aesthetic - it was created in the early years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II by one Vera Richards of Tiverton, Devon (provenance - previous owner). Each of the stamps, some cancelled and others not, featured the face of the Queen and all of them were pre-decimal. Meticulously die-cut and overlapped, they rendered a very-accurate outline of the map of England.
