**** P I T C A I R N I S L A N D S **** [LAE] 22 FEB 1971 ROYAL VISIT BY PRINCE PHILIP, DUKE OF EDINBURGH EXCEPTIONAL & ELUSIVE PLATE BLOCK OF 8 PRISTINE NEVER HINGED (UNMOUNTED) MINT CONDITION Sc.#118, S.G. 115, Mi.#118 ———— • • • • • • ————— EXCEPTIONAL CORNER PLATE BLOCK of 8 of this controversial Pitcairn Island stamp. There are NO SPLIT PERFORATIONS, NO COLOR DISTORTIONS (my scanner gives white and pastel colors a lemon tinge, as in image #5!). The bottom margins of the stamp sheets were NOT perforated, although there are two single “blind” perforations on the bottom edge. PLEASE NOTE the gap between the three 1A plate numbers, and the smaller font “1A” printed in silver. History of this issue: On 23 December 1970, it was announced that Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh would visit Pitcairn Island in less than two months in the Royal Yacht “Britannia”, after their visit to Easter Island, while ‘en route’ to Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands. There being insufficient time to design, approve, print, and deliver suitable stamps to the Island in commemoration of this historic event, it was decided to overprint an existing Pitcairn stamp with suitable wording. The stamp selected by the Assistant to the British High Commissioner in New Zealand was the 10c definitive “Ship Landing Point” (Sc.#104, S.G. 101). The Crown Agents arranged for its entire stock of 405 sheets = maximum of 405 Plate Blocks (40,500 stamps) to be overprinted “ROYAL VISIT 1971” in silver by De La Rue & Co., in London. The stamps would be delivered by the Royal Yacht when the vessel arrived at Pitcairn on 21 February. The Islanders, on hearing the good news, had requested 1,000 stamps (10 sheets), believing that this comprised the entire overprinting of the issue. It was only many months later that they heard that the remainder of the 405 sheets of stamps had been sold to the philatelic trade. The stamp issue was not announced until March 1971, giving the stamp trade and stamp collectors no prior notice of its existence. Thus, a MAXIMUM of 405 corner plate blocks were overprinted. Many would be broken up into single stamps by stamp dealers, owing to their limited new issue allocation. NOTE: on the day of the visit, 22 February, it was decided that the seas were too rough for Queen Elizabeth to accompany the Royal party, which included Prince Philip, his uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten, and Mountbatten’s daughter and son-in-law, Lord and Lady Brabourne, among others.
