Canada Scott#21 Half-Cent Large Queen Victoria

The black half-cent large Queen Victoria stamp (Canada Scott#21) is described in the Collections Canada Archives as being "based on an engraving by Charles Henry Jeens" and the "portrait is engraved by Alfred Jones".

Glen Hansen's catalogue indicates that the portrait was "produced from a medallion and engraved by Charles H. Jeens".

My question is: who engraved the figure of Queen Victoria that is pictured on the stamp?

From Library & Archives Canada:

Based on an engraving by Charles Henry Jeens
Portrait engraved by Alfred Jones
Lettering and frame engraved by Henry Earle Sr.

At the time I meant to dress-up this thread with a few images of my half-cent large Queen Victoria (Canada Scott#21). The thread seems naked without something so to remedy this state of undress I present:

Nice stamps cynical, thanks for showing them.

On the middle stamp it looks almost as if there is
a bump on Vicki's nose.

Here is an imperforate Plate Proof pair of this nice issue.

Nice pair of 34s :)

Nice stamps.

The plate proofs are nice to see. Clean and bright, nice to look at.

Very nice half-cent Victorias; thanks for posting.

Alfred Jones

Lithograving: every time I look at that stamp now I see a bump on her nose!

Does anyone have a watermarked bothwell paper 21? 2014 catalog in VG used at a mere $10,000. One I havn't seen offered or talked about or even good pics.

There is one for sale today at Bringham Auction if you are interested

I was affraid to actually look at that auction - can not believe the items he has and I only went through a few pages . Big sigh-- I will continue to hunt for treasures not yet found . Almost a shame such a collection has to be split up but I doubt even a good canadian lottery win would cover the whole package.
PS- Gilles I got your message - just buying house so will contact you soon -- don't want stuff in transit if moving- Thank you very much though. .

Nice link Gilles le timbre...99% of those stamps are out of my price range..so sad...haha

Well, I did not win the 50Million jackpot of loto649 last night, so I wont be able to bid on one of my want list item (Canada # 32).....I guess I'll have to wait for the fall auction when another copy goes on sale...

Wasn't there a group of collectors that bought a very valuable stamp together and they share it with each one having it for one whole month? They drew together a whole set of rules including how one could sell their share, what would happen if anyone of them died, etc.
