The pictorial cover shows an oil painting of Josiah Wedgwood and his kin, The painting was commissioned by Josiah to the famous artist George Stubbs.

	The method of manufacture changed on this issue, Panes have a complete margin surrounding the stamps so trimmed perforations can not occur during guillotining process. This could have been due to pressure from philatelists after the problems encountered with the trimmed perforations on the ½p side band on the previous issue
