It seems that
Bradbury Wilkinson,
the famous
previous British
printing house, in 1926 had prepared set of six
photographic essays for an unissued "Overland Mail" 6 (Rupees). (2 different) and Air Mail 1r. (3 different) and 5r. stamps. If this was done on the
request of the Iraqi Postal Administration or on initiative of
Bradbury Wilkinson
them self is not known so far. The essays are affixed to pages ex the
Bradbury Wilkinson archive dated 25 June 1926.
