1886 Four hand drawn fronts telling the story of an Ostrich that mistook the bald head of a sleeping Colonel for an egg and so sat upon him until he was rescued by his men. All have been posted from Bega or Dandaloo to Tasmania, three with 2½d blue QV & the other with a 1d but missing another adhesive. An unusual & amusing group with thematic appeal to the bird collector! See the full set of 4 on the website www.acestampauctions.com
