1883 Colour Scheme sheet headed 'Appendix' in manuscript and dated '28 FEB 83', submitted by De La Rue to the Crown Agents in response to an order for a new 1/2d value. The international colour for a 1/2d was green but this was the colour of the current 1d keyplate. Therefore, the current 1d (SG 24) and 2 1/2d (SG 25) were affixed, with three imperforate 1/2d colour trials in blue, carmine and green, with each item handstamped CANCELLED (type D7). A unique and beautiful document from the De La Rue archives; Ex J.L. Frederick.
