Great Britain 1936 4d Edward VIII Accession essay.
A superb unmounted mint, with full original gum, perforated example printed in blackish olive on watermarked paper, showing the King in the uniform of the Seaforth Highlanders from the photograph by Bertram Park.
Very scarce as the stamps were not issued. When Edward became king of the United Kingdom in January 1936, he made it clear he planned to marry Wallis. When he was told by Parliament this was impossible, he abdicated in December of that year. The couple lived out the rest of their lives in a whirl of parties and foreign travel.
