King George V Arch and Medallion Postal Stationery Envelopes exhibits the scope of postal stationery envelopes from the later King George V period. It includes material from both the Arch Issue of 1931-1932 and the subsequent 1933-1938 Medallion Issue, and bridges the period between the George V Oval Die envelopes and the George VI issues illustrated in previous books in this series.

Copies of regular over-the-counter envelopes are shown, but the emphasis is on envelopes (including precancelled envelopes) prepared to private order for business firms and for federal government departments and agencies. Envelopes printed on a flat-plate press by the Department of Public Printing & Stationery and others printed on a rotary press by Dominion Envelopes are illustrated.
