& Co., U.K.; blue print, 1 coupon still attached, see picture of front and backside, The
frontside shows a crowned coat of arms, flanked by 2 men with a club, probably
Hercules. The backside shows a 6 by 4 cm statue
of Nike, the goddess of Victory (daughter of Styx, who was a daughter
of the Titan Oceanus). The famous American sport shoe company NIKE, was named
after this goddess; The statue depicted on the back is a replica of the famous
sculpture of Nike made in 421 B.C. by the Greek sculptor Paionios. As can
be seen on this photograph, the original
sculpture is badly damaged, but the (very small) replica that is depicted
on this bond can be seen in the right lower corner of the photo. The goddess
is landing on a triangular pillar: the rucks of her cloths suggest the speed
with which she lands. (source: Zadoks, 1954, p. 65), condition VF-EF, 25
