ORIGINAL ART: 2 FRAMED ARTWORKS FROM NZ POSTAGE STAMPS
ORIGINAL ART: 2 FRAMED ARTWORKS FROM NZ POSTAGE STAMPS
At 76 years old we have down sized and I no longer have a “stamp hobby room”, so I have these 2 framed ORIGINAL ART PICTURES.
1) SCREENPRINT ON EMBOSSED PAPER BY W. GRIFFIN (not sure of name)
Framed in 3D matt
Embossed paper to replicate the stamp perforations
Replica of 1898 Pictorial stamp “Kaka & Kea”
Photo of original stamp and framed screenprint 8.5 x 10.5 inches
Stamp: 1898 Single 1s 'Kea and Kaka' gummed stamp.
Kea (Nestor notabilis), on the left, is a parrot about 46 cm long with olive-green feathers and scarlet under wings. It is a bird of great personality, raucous and inquisitive. Kaka (Nestor meridionalis), on the right, is a parrot about 45 cm long, often heard before being seen - its loud, harsh call travelling some distance. Its appearance is striking - bright red-orange neck, abdomen and rump, olive-green above, with scarlet under wings which can be seen when the bird is in flight.
Also:
2) Framed 1935 Pictorial of Tui printed on fabric with hand painted bird – 9 x 11 inches
Stamp: 1935 Single 1s 'Tui' gummed stamp.
A number of New Zealand birds are songless, but the beautiful tui is a notable exception. It is an inimitable songster, a remarkable mimic, and it can be taught to talk. Between 30 and 38 centimetres in length, the tui has two tufts of white feathers at its throat, a collar of long white curved feathers on the back of its neck, and a touch of white on the angle of its wings. Its body is in two shades of brown, and its wings and neck feathers are iridescent, gleaming green or blue according to the play of light on the feathers.
