1896 & 1904 — ¼ ANNA ROSE-VIOLET REPLY POSTCARDS — TYPES I & II. Attractive pair of ¼ anna rose-violet postal stationery reply cards, representing two distinctly different printings. The 1896 Type I is printed on cream wove paper with red border, while the 1904 Type II is on laid paper without the red border; the numerals in the indicia are distinctly different on the two types, providing an additional means of identification. The Type II laid-paper reply card without border appears considerably scarcer and is particularly difficult to procure. A desirable specialist pair illustrating the evolution of Charkhari postal stationery, paper, border and indicium types (Deschl £300).
