 1888 — ¼ ANNA BLACK ON YELLOW — FIRST ISSUE — UNUSUAL THICK-PAPER PRINTING, POSSIBLY A PROOF(?) An intriguing example of the 1888 ¼ anna black on yellow First Issue, differing markedly from the normally encountered stamps printed on thin
wove paper. This example is on a substantially thicker yellow wove paper of a distinctly deeper shade, with an unusually crisp and strong impression, characteristics suggesting the possibility of a proof or trial printing. Design cut into at the
upper-right corner, affecting the lettering, nevertheless a potentially important item for the specialist study of Bamra’s earliest printing and production methods. The precise status of this unusual thick-paper printing merits further research (SG
£3000). (Image 1)
