<strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> - <strong>Auction</strong> <strong>No</strong> <strong>145</strong> Jun 13, 2009<br />
NEW ZEALAND (continued)<br />
Lot Type Grading Description Est $A<br />
Lot 218<br />
218 E A - original handpainted horizontal essay (205x128mm) of a Biggles-like "Smithy" - apparently based on<br />
a photo of Jim Nabours - & the "Southern Cross" in shades of blue highlighted with China white on<br />
artboard (310x257mm), labelled "Comprehensive 'Rough' for Finished Line Original". Ex Reg Ferguson<br />
& Derrick Ray. [Because this was a joint issue with Australia, the preliminary designs are relevant to<br />
the Australian issue even though they are all inscribed 'NEW ZEALAND'. Richard Breckon has<br />
confirmed that there is no preliminary artwork for the Joint Issue in the Australia Post Archives.<br />
However, several die proofs inscribed New Zealand are held by Australia Post. This supports our<br />
vendor's contention - with which we agree - that all preliminary designs can properly be treated - and<br />
exhibited - as Australian material.<br />

Lot 219<br />
219 E A - a similar horizontal essay of a more believable "Smithy", the "Southern Cross" & a modern airliner in<br />
shades of blue & highlighted with China white on artboard (310x257mm), labelled "Comprehensive<br />
'Rough' for Finished Line Original". Ex Reg Ferguson & Derrick Ray.<br />
