Description
c. 1872 set of five imperforate tinted paper trials on unwatermarked paper each denominated 1d in reddish lilac, printed on thick wove paper tinted lilac, purple, brown-orange, dark blue and pale blue. A highly unusual set which clearly had wider implications for the unappropriated die issue, with schemes on coloured paper never advancing beyond this trial
