 Kihn Brothers Bank Note Co: 'COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA/10s TEN SHILLINGS 10s' handpainted pen-&-ink essay in sepia & China white
(130x79mm) with palmtrees at the sides & two horns of plenty at the base on thin card (210x157mm), a separate piece with the oval vignette affixed featuring a seated allegorical figure with a globe to her right & Britain's shield to her left and a
background of mercantile & naval ships, plus an alternative vignette with the full-face figure now extolling agriculture, cattle, mining & trade with a single ship in the background, this attached at right by a piece of linen tape ACSC E77, with
stamp-size photographic reductions of both designs affixed below the artwork, Cat $7500. The majority of the 1051 submissions for the competition were uninspired, poorly executed &/or of no artistic merit whatsoever. The eight Kihn Brothers designs
were among the most professionally executed but were unacceptable because they were not from an Australian or British entrant.
The ACSC illustrates the two vignettes overlapped - obscuring the text at the top - & comments in a footnote about the alternative design, but there is no reference to the stamp-size reductions. The ACSC also states that the series of Kihn essays
"are mounted in a bound volume..." However, in the 'Chartwell' sale, they were offered separately, and sold in line with very low estimates.
Together with a copy of the 1884 CE Doepler lithograph 'AUSTRALIEN u OZEANIEN' that was clearly inspiration for Kihn's staff artist Adolph Glass.
