Description: This artifact is an original, unsevered horizontal strip of three United Kingdom 9-penny (9d) commemorative postage stamps from the British Rural Architecture series [1]. The landscape-oriented, perforated stamps feature an intricate, multi-colored illustration of a traditional two-story Cotswold stone cottage. The structure is defined by its steep gabled roofline, prominent stone chimneys, and climbing green ivy growing between the windows. The upper left corner displays the descriptive title "Cotswold limestone" in a clean sans-serif typeface, while the right margin features the silver-grey silhouette profile of Queen Elizabeth II positioned directly above the pre-decimal face value "9d". The three stamps remain connected by pristine, unaltered vertical comb perforations.
Circa: 1970-1971
Condition: Mint Strip of 3.
