A Small Group of Vignettes and Hand-painted Designs, including a black-and-white

A Small Group of Vignettes and Hand-painted Designs, including a black-and-white pull from the reverse of the Central Bank of China, 10,000 Customs Gold Units, 1947-8, depicting the Central Bank of China building in Shanghai, albeit subtly different to the issued notes, also three vignettes of Queen Elizabeth II in blue, navy blue, and brown respectively, including the popular Annigoni portrait, and a beautiful pair of hand-painted leaf and plant border designs on thick card depicting, among other things, oak leaves and acorns, not necessarily from banknotes, but certainly of a similar hand to elements of composite printer’s essays, the vignettes only showing limited handling or a single corner fold, about uncirculated or uncirculated, the hand-painted designs showing some paper loss on the top layer of card and some moderate paint flaking, but otherwise as made and quite beautiful, an interesting group (6 pieces) £150-£200.

Estimate:$200.74
