- 1903-04 DIE PROOF of KEVII 1d,
- but "Postage & Revenue" inscription,
- frame plate only in black on glazed card
- dated (in blue) 13 JUN 02 and marked BEFORE HARDENING.
- Superb, scarce.
- This plate was produced according to the original brief to De La Rue for a 1d Postage & Revenue design.
- However in September of 1902 it was decided that all values would be inscribed Postage only.
- This 1d plate was used to produce the 1902 colour trials including bicolours.
- The plate would have fallen into disuse as the low values were printed as monocolours from single plates.
