General view, with rowing-boat in mid stream. This design on a ribbon approximately 5 inches [12.7cm] by 2 inches [5.1cm] was first registered on 26 June 1902 (registration number 394490) but was later issued in a larger size [as above]. On some examples, the name W. H. Grant & Co. is rubber-stamped on the reverse of the mount in script letters. This subject was also issued in postcard form. A postcard of this subject was mentioned in a trade review of October 1903.
