 Kihn Brothers Bank Note Co (New York): 'COMMONWEALTH/OF AUSTRALIA/9d/NINE PENCE' handpainted pen-&-ink essay in sepia & China white
with photographic vignettes of Queen Alexandra facing right & King Edward VII facing left inserted with artist's highlights (77x89mm), plus a photographic reduction to stamp-size affixed below, on thin card (152x205mm) ACSC E74, undercatalogued at
$5000 (reduced from $6000 in the previous edition). A superb and beautiful essay. The artist was Kihns' employee Adolph Glass.
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 eight designs were offered at the Chartwell sale in London (2018) where they sold for between £504 & £2520 only. The 10/- E77 (Cat $7500) was later sold in our auction of 10.11.2022 for $10,780 (Sale 249 Lot
2064). The stamp-size E78 & E80 from the same series each sold at a Sydney online auction in -.2.2025 for $4660. (Image1)

 Perkins Bacon & Co: Exquisite stamp-size engine-turned essay in black on thin card (85x92mm) with the central Waratah vignette
expertly handpainted in India ink & China white and the inscriptions 'AUSTRALIA/ POSTAGE/ 1 ONE PENNY 1 ' handpainted in China white, the whole with fine pencilled margins, endorsed "Sidero 1" in India ink at lower-left ASCS E79, under-catalogued at
$6000. Gorgeous and superb.
In 1909, Perkins Bacon submitted four prospective designs for Australian stamps including E79 to the PMG's Department . In 1911, these designs was re-submitted to the Post Office Stamp Design Competition under the nom-de-plume ‘Sidero’ (a curious
choice: Sidero was the second wife of the ancient Greek King Salmoneus, who was murdered by Pelias, one of her step-grandsons). Despite being of the highest technical quality, none of the Perkins Bacon entries were selected.
The ACSC lists this design under “hand-drawn” entries, which is inaccurate: only the country name, central motif & denomination are hand-painted. The engine-turned frame & oval make this design especially important philatelically because it was
derived from the firm's classic 1857 issue for Newfoundland, that included three similar floral motifs. For the Australian essay, the waratah was substituted. Being the floral emblem of New South Wales, it is unlikely to have received approval from
the other States.
The relative pricing of the essays is open to discussion. Many of the designs are decidedly amateurish: in our opinion the best of the designs should be worth significantly more than the quoted prices (many of which have never been tested at
auction). Note that E77 (Cat $7500) was sold at our auction of 10.11.2022 for $10,980 and E47 (also Cat $7500) was sold in Switzerland in 2023 for SFr4145. (Image1) (Image2)

reductions to stamp-size, both with pencilled "E Whitehead & Co" on the reverse. Superb. Not listed in the ACSC. E Whitehead & Co was a firm of commercial printers in Melbourne. (2) (Image1) (Image2)
