MALAYA - KELANTAN 1910 SG6 Essay DLR 10c claret "Printex" essay, close to adopted design, for 1911-15 issue

Stock Code: P234001135

1910 (July 14) 10c claret monocolour essay for the 1911-15 issue, produced by the semi-photographic "Printex" process, close to the design as adopted (SG Type 1) on July 25 1910, but differing in the area of the spears at top. An identical essay, but affixed to dated DLR card, is illustrated in "The De La Rue Collection" on p. 4442, whereas this example derives from an internal DLR typewritten sample sheet (c.1910) promoting the benefits of the "Printex" process for the rapid production of plates for surface-printing via photo-etched dies without the need for hand-engraving. A fascinating and important preliminary essay. Very rare, and particularly desirable since so little such material exists for Kelantan. [The 10c value was to be issued in black and mauve, but the claret colour as here was used for the 6c value which appeared in 1922 (SG 19).]
