1894 (Feb 15): De La Rue Essay for the proposed Postal Stationery newspaper wrapper issue,
showing the Professor von Angeli head-plate of Queen Victoria, for proposed 1 anna value in a composite design hand-painted in reddish-purple on ivory card backing with Crown, Necklace and epaulette picked out in Chinese white, mounted in sunken card
dated "FEB 15th 94." in manuscript at top right. Illustrated in the "De La Rue Collection" edited by Frank Walton on page 4206. The Essay, with points at top and at base was rejected in favour of the issued design with indented top and base of frame.
An exquisite Proof of great beauty and importance. Unique.rnNote: The Queen Victoria head was from a full length portrait done in 1885 by Professor von Angeli, when India called for new high values De La Rue worked on the von Angeli head as a model.
Four fairly crude Essays were prepared in January1894 for Indian Newspaper wrappers followed by this Essay and a ½ anna design in February. The Indian high values followed later in 1895 and a slightly modified design was utilised for the Canadian
Jubilee issue in 1897 and, reduced, for Uganda and the first issue of Southern Nigeria. (Image 1)

Indian Post Offices abroad - Aden 1864 (July 17): Envelope presumably from a French
serviceman returning from the second Cochinchina campaign, posted at the Indian P.O. in Aden and directed to Nancy, France, bearing two single adhesives of Napolêon perforated 10 c. bistre (Yvert 21 / Maury 21 / Gi 91), cancelled / tied by small
barred rhombus '124' numeral of Aden, matching "ADEN STR POINT" despatch cds on reverse. The franking which pays the French soldier's concessionary rate was not accepted by the postal authorities, regarded as fully unpaid and therefore a framed
"INDIA UNPAID" handstamp in black was struck on front. Obverse with French "PAYS ANGL. V. SUEZ MARSEILLE" entry (July 31) cds in red, reverse with Paris-Strasbourg ambulant and NANCY arrival (Aug 1) cds. French '9' (dêcimes) mark indicated the due
which had to be paid by the receiver. Signed Calves; certs. Scheller (2011), Sismondo (2014), RPS (2015).rnNote: Almost exclusively only stamps of Ceylon, Mauritius and Great Britain are known to be cancelled by the '124' numeral of the Indian P.O.
in Aden, this is the only known cover with French stamps postmarked in Aden. A spectacular rarity and a most attractive cover for an advanced collection of the postal history of India, Aden, Indochina or France. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3) (Image 4) (Image 5)
