Monument to Imperial Grace

Under Review

Description: This British India postage stamp showcases a meticulously detailed landscape engraving. The left panel features the grand ivory-white marble facade, central dome, and flanking minarets of the Taj Mahal in Agra, depicted alongside a reflecting pool and tropical palm fronds. Separated by an ornate decorative border, the right panel houses a right-facing portrait medallion of King George V in full military regalia. Arched elegantly over the architectural scene are the capitalized words "INDIA POSTAGE". The lower left quadrant displays the distinct fractional face value "2½ AS" (two and a half annas), while a detailed celebratory scroll running beneath both panels declares "SILVER JUBILEE COMMEMORATION" flanked by the milestone anniversary date "6th May 1935".

Circa: 1935

Condition: Used - Hinged
