Reverse description Green on unprinted paper. The entire reverse is occupied by a pastoral vignette drawn by Edmund Blampied, enclosed within a plain green rectangular border. A young girl in traditional dress tends a group of Jersey cattle amid lush meadow grass and trees, the scene rendered in a detailed etching-like style with fine cross-hatching. Blampied's signature and the date 1941 appear at the lower right of the vignette.
