This classic 1½d stamp from Montserrat features the left-facing portrait of King George VI, part of the admired Colonial Key Plate series of the late 1930s–40s. The central vignette depicts workers harvesting the island’s renowned Sea Island cotton, set against rolling Caribbean hills. Engraved in rich rose-carmine, the design highlights both craftsmanship and agricultural heritage. A fine piece for collectors of British Caribbean colonies, KGVI definitives, and agricultural-themed issues. Well-centred, deeply inked examples like this are especially desirable.
