Description: This horizontal stamp features a scenic view of the majestic peaks in Northern Ireland rising quietly behind a rolling green field and a traditional low stone wall. A cluster of rustic stone cottages stands huddled in the middle ground beneath the sparse branches of a solitary, weathered winter tree. The upper corners are balanced by the official heraldic emblem of the Prince of Wales on the left and a clean silhouette portrait of Queen Elizabeth II positioned over the large numeric face value on the right.
Circa: 1994
Condition: MNH
Notes:
This issue belongs to a highly celebrated five-stamp set produced to honor the 25th anniversary of the investiture of the Prince of Wales. In a rare philatelic departure, every single landscape featured across the series was reproduced from original watercolor paintings hand-painted by King Charles III himself during his travels across the United Kingdom. The set also featured majestic artistic perspectives of landmarks in Scotland, England, and Wales.
