re: 1938 Queen Elizabeth 1d "white face".

Rob, did you mean on her face? I see she is missing a bit of her eyebrow. Or did you mean her hair or the background.

Thanks!
Eric

The right side of her face lacks the detailing shown on the left side of her face giving it a whiter appearance.

Looks to me that the right side of her face is meant to be in a slight shadow and is emphasised under her chin and on her right shoulder. From the nose onward going right the lines are heavier, wheras the left side is more dotted than lined.

Trust me, the ink stripping isn't prominent, but it is a 'white face'.

To my uninformed eye, the real giveaway is the left side of her chin ... no shading at all.

Cheers,

And the nose; If you look at the post again you will see that I added a normal stamp in comparison to it and two good examples of her husband King George VI.
