| Opmerkingen |
The Colonial Bank of New Zealand was a private trading bank chartered in 1873, competing directly with the Bank of New Zealand and several other provincial institutions in a crowded field that would eventually collapse into consolidation. It survived until 1895, when the Bank of New Zealand absorbed it — partly as a government-backed rescue operation during the severe colonial depression of the early 1890s, which had strained nearly every private bank on the islands.
Perkins, Bacon's involvement is the detail worth noting. The London firm had built its reputation on security printing for postage stamps, and their intaglio technique — the same anti-counterfeiting discipline applied to colonial stamps — carries over into the tightly engraved linework on this issue.
