Arthur Eric Rowton Gill
	Eric Gill’s design meets George VI's wish for a more decorative stamp and at the same time provides one which is modern in its artistic style. The Council for Art in Industry was informed on 1 March 1937 that a decision had been taken to use his design for the values intended for issue at the time of the coronation: ½d, 1d, 1½d and 2½d.

	George VI (design): The "Cumberland & Westmorland Herald" of 22 May, 1937, was pleased by their fair and floral air, although an opposing view was quoted in the "Edinburgh Evening News" of 7 May: The stamps of the reign bear too much resemblance to a seed catalogue. Eric Gill was paid 100 guineas in April 1937 and a further 100 guineas in August 1938, making a total of £210. (G. Allen, 1995: 34)	Great Britain	1941	214A	1.00€ add to cart
