    1879 (Feb 8): Postal Notice from the Berne Office of the UPU headed "Annexe A La Circulaire Du Bureau International" and dated below, with "Colour Chart" for both the size of future definitive adhesive stamps and their colour uniformity: 5 Centimes in green, 10 centimes and 25 centimes in blue. This Annexe was enacted almost universally thereafter-for example Great Britain 1879-80 values were thus: ½ d. green, 1 d. red and 2½ d. blue; Belgium 1883/84 5 c. green, 10 c. rose and 25 c. blue; Denmark 1884 5 ö. green, 10 ö. red, 25 ö. blue etc. A marvellous item, replete with printed letter from Berne to the London GPO detailing the countries who felt the measure inopportune (France & Colonies, Russia), those that desired to do it but without current facilities (Argentina, Netherlands and Switzerland) and the 20 countries who had agreed the measure. Edge wear to the document but rare and important piece of philatelic history.
