These postage stamps arrived uncancelled on an envelope sent to me from England, containing a postcard written, addressed, and sent in 1914. I chose the card on ebay for its photograph of the companion square to the garden square where I once lived in London.
At first, Elizabeth "1st" looked like a mossy green to me. Turns out she's a sparkly gold. An ambiguity suitable to the copper patina of the category "verdigris". I'm letting the color scheme take me where it will.
