    1900: Anglo-Boer War Patriotic Fund, the un-accepted Essay by F. Elliott for the 1 d. (6 d.) value, handpainted on thick board, 175 x 102 mm., in mauve, deep violet, pale yellow, deep brown and black. A dramatic and particularly wonderful Essay, believed to be one of the two surviving handpainted Essays for Queensland issues. Probably unadopted due to the nature of the Battle scene but nevetheless a superb example of Elliott's artwork. An exhibition item (fits nicely on an album page) of the highest calibre.
