    1900 (July 30): De La Rue composite Essay for the 10 s. value, with green head-plate inserted within blue & pale blue imperforate frame showing country legend, Duty Plate and "Postage" and "Revenue", with tracing paper swatch showing proposed designs for the 2 s. 6 d. Duty Plate with three different versions hand-painted in Chinese white on brown background. Dated at top right "July 10th 1900" with "Dupl. copies submitted: Head: Green (and) Black, Border: Red Brown (and) Blue marked C and D" respectively. Illustrated in the "De La Rue Collection" on page 6068. Magnificent and unique.rnrnNote: Sir Ralph Denham R. Moor (1860-1909) was the first High Commissioner for Southern Nigeria and was in England when this Essay was first proposed. De La Rue wrote on July 30, "He (Moor) has agreed to adopt stamps of the ordinary postage size and has asked to see designs with either the borders or the cenmtres following as nearly as possible the colours of the present Niger Coast Protectorate stamps. It would be well to enable him to judge of the ewffect, to prrint some Specimens on red or blue paper...and to make them bolder than designs C and D of the 10th instant".
