Why It Matters
Dating to 2005, this is among the earliest works in the index and predates much of his gallery print output. The hand-painted flag treatment turns each of the 32 into a near-unique object rather than a uniform edition. It is the flag counterpart to his later "Canis Servo Regina" screenprint, sharing the same subversive title.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 32 with hand-painting places this firmly in the scarce, individually variable category prized by early-D*Face collectors. The hand-applied elements mean condition and the specific character of a given piece are decisive. Its 2005 date and Pictures On Walls provenance make careful authentication especially worthwhile.
Historical Context
2005 marks an early point in D*Face's editioned career, when Pictures On Walls was central to the London street-art surge. The "Dog Save The Queen" theme echoes punk's anti-monarchist provocations. Hand-painted flag editions connect to the movement's appetite for unique, hand-touched objects over purely mechanical reproduction.
