EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page of triangular capes, specifically numbers 20 to 25, dating back to the year 1943. These unique capes were adorned with stamps from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, which were issued on September 1st, 1853. The two triangular stamps featured on this page include a one penny stamp in brick-red and a four pence stamp in blue. Produced by Messrs Perkins, Bacon & Co in London and skillfully engraved by William Humphrys between the years of 1890 and 1944. The vibrant colors of these stamps - reds, blues, greens - bring an enchanting burst of life to this image.
