Drawn and painted with ink on both sides, the back shows a golden branch from the Peacock clock, and the front shows the peacock as a whole.
The Peacock Clock automaton dated 1766-1772 was designed by James Cox, later imported from Britain to Russia disassembled then and re-assembled, without any documentation, by Ivan Kulibin. The Peacock automaton is still operational, located at Hermitage museum (Winter Palace) in St. Petersburg.
Sent from Saint Petersburg, using standard stamps of the previous issue (“Kremlins”).
