Rubber stamp with a brown rounded handle with a gold “MBE” symbol on the handle. The information on the rubber stamp denotes special handling specifications that can be seen on a vulcanized piece of rubber, which has been mounted to a stable wood block. The information appears backwards and reads: “PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICHOLAS MORANT” “THIS PICTURE MUST NOT BE COPIED, REPRODUCED NOR EXHIBITED WITHOUT NECESSARY PERMISSION IN WRITING.” The same information can be seen on the edge of the wood block attached by a plastic holder that would have made identification much easier.
