With a DVD containing a copy of the GPO documentary film on the making of the Silver Jubilee stamps of 1935, entitled "The king's stamp" (U.K.: 1935, 20 min.), a film short directed William Coldstream, is a record of the creation of the King George V Silver Jubilee stamp which was designed by Barnett Freedman. The film shows the process of stamp design and production. Score by Benjamin Britten. First half of the film is in black and white, but is switched to Dufaycolor halfway through when the stamp is printed.
