Definitives - Bock & Cousins
Lot Symbol Catalog No. Description Opening
384 P imageNew Zealand 1894 Die proof in black on card by Cousins for a postal note poundage. Background information on J William Rose Bock & Alfred Ernest Cousins: Bock was a dominant force in New Zealand stamp production for over half a century from the mid-1870s until 1931, and Cousins the only New Zealander ever to have defined himself specifically as an “engraver postage stamp die” as he did in the “1894 Wellington Almanack”. An historian by profession, Dr Robin Gwynn wrote the entries for both men in the New Zealand Dictionary of National Biography, and echoes of their efforts run through many sections of his philatelic collection. Lots 384-393 focus on aspects of their work that did not result in major New Zealand postage stamp issues. Bock was the more important artist and engraver so far as New Zealand was concerned, Cousins more significant in the wider Pacific context. (Image)
