    1894: De La Rue handpainted Essay for postal stationery 8 cents value, with embossed vignette of Queen Victoria painted on thin brown rice paper in rose, red and chinese white. Dated in pencil at upper right 'April 9th, 1894'. The design was never used (the 1895 issue featured the ubiquitous turtle design chosen by General Gordon instead). Minor creasing as usual with this archive material, a splendid example of De La Rue artwork. Unique.
