What I collect: Cinderellas and some Ephemera from Great Britain, France and Israel plus a few beautiful bits from elsewhere !! Topical interests include Flags & Judaica, the latter with an emphasis on the Jewish National Fund.

I have these. I believe there are 12 in all. Superb Perkins,Bacon effort. [And they did it for free of course] You can see in the top corners are the Cross of the Order of St.John of Jerusalem and in the Bottom corners, the British Red Cross.  Londonbus1 |

Prices vary greatly and one would need to shop around. Sheets [10,12] and smaller sheetlets are very scarce and go for big bucks !! There is a cover for sale right now from a high-class GB dealer with 5 labels and no postage and coincidentally, also from Belgium ! Cost? £395 !!!  |

There are about 6-7 mint copies of these up on eBay right now for pretty cheap.

The vignette was titled "The Sword of Justice." It was an adaptation of a war poster captioned "Take Up the Sword of Justice" by Bernard Parkridge. I assumed in the past, and still do, that the poster depicts the Lusitania sinking in the background. I'd welcome confirmation, or not. My own little write up guesses at Lusitania...she had four funnels, and went down bow-first, listing to starboard. Here is the poster. Google will freely give up hi-res versions.  |
