Wartime Royal Sisters Health Semi-Postal

Under Review

Description: This horizontal design presents a side-by-side double portrait of the young British royal sisters during their teenage years, framed by regional flora. Princess Margaret is depicted on the left in a collared dress, while Princess Elizabeth, the future monarch, is featured on the right wearing her wartime Girl Guide uniform. Intricate native New Zealand kōwhai flowers cascade down the top corners, gracefully balancing the split monetary boxes that outline the combined standard mailing value and the dedicated medical charity surcharge.

Circa: 1944

Condition: Unused
