… Three Stamps : ½d (36a), 1d (36b), 4d (36c) |
The Dunedin Exhibition stamps are unusual in that they were
relief printed from line etched zinc plates on paper that had been toned
using lithographic plates. Like the Christchurch Exhibition, the stamps
were only sold at the exhibition and the numbers sold were quite
small.
The stamps show a view of the 400 meter Grand Court with the
dome of the Festival Hall in the background. The top and side borders
feature a traditional Maori Taniko weaving pattern.
