Marjorie Josephine Maynard, Lady Garbett (23 January 1891 – 23 October 1975)[1] was a British artist and farmer who designed some of the first set of postage stamps issued in Iraq.

[2][3] The cartoon depicting Belgium as a widow whose children have been killed by Germany, was praised by Pothan Joseph in an article in East And West magazine.

[5] The definitive stamps were denominated in the currency of the Administration, the Indian anna and rupee, and Maynard designed four of them: the 1½A (depicting a winged figure), 2A (a Babylonian wall-sculpture), 3A (ruins of the Kasra arch in Ctesiphon) and 1R (an allegory of the date palm, Phoenix dactylifera) values.

[5] The 1 rupee stamp was withdrawn on 1 June 1927 and replaced by one showing a portrait of King Faisal I, but the rest remained on sale until the introduction of a new set on 17 February 1931 and were still used postally after that.

[11] This eviction was subsequently the subject of questions in Parliament from several MPs, put to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Derick Heathcoat-Amory,[12] as well as television coverage.
