Description
Ceylon – Scott #287 (1938 King George VI “Trincomalee Harbor,” Used)
Issued as part of Ceylon’s 1938 definitive series depicting King George VI, this handsome 1 Rupee 10 Cents stamp presents a detailed engraving of Trincomalee Harbor, one of the finest natural harbors in the world.
The design combines a scenic view of the palm-lined coast and moored ships with an inset portrait of King George VI in the upper right corner, framed by rich brown and deep blue tones. Printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., the issue is prized for its crisp engraving and classical colonial composition.
A beautiful used example with a light, clean cancel and strong color — a must-have for collectors of British Commonwealth or maritime-themed stamps.
