Mossgreen
Original Commonwealth stamp designs for auction
In 1911, the Commonwealth Government announced the Commonwealth Stamp Design Competition to create a uniform national stamp.
Previously, stamps were designed and issued by each of the six States (or colonies until 1901) but the Federal Government then believed it was time for a national identity stamp that contained “features characteristic of Australia”.
Curiously, the winning designs never made it to print and, instead, artist Blamire Young was commissioned to prepare alternative designs.
