I certainly think that the engraved high values are beautiful examples of engraver's art and early examples of the new minimalist "modern" aesthetic, with the simple frames and uncluttered appearance. I personally do not care for the photogravure low values - I think they lower the appeal of the set. I think the set should either have been all Photogravure (bicolour would have looked great) or all engraved. But I think the mixed printing methods made the set less appealing than could have been the case. <br /><br />My favourite commemorative issue of all time has to me the 1935 Silver Jubilee common design followed by the 1951 University Issue - which was a very beautiful bicoloured set.
