Seal embossed proof impression in grey-black on thin card (131x182mm, minor peripheral blemishes) of the official seal of British New Guinea from the reign of King Edward VII featuring the British coat-of-arms & a Bird of Paradise within Latin inscriptions, the seal having a massive diameter of 64mm. A superb impression of this impressive design, that would make an excellent introductory page for any Papuan collection.

Photograph 'glossy' print (112x83mm) from Captain FR Barton's glass negative of his image of a Lakatoi and Hanuabada Village that was the basis for the British New Guinea stamps, the apparent damage at left having been on the original negative; with its plain envelope (tonespots) endorsed "Photograph/from/Papua Original/ supplied to De La Rue". Ex Rev Roger Lee. Outstanding frontispiece for a collection of BNG/Papua. On 7.1.1901, Sir Horace Tozer, Agent-General for Queensland, requested De La Rue to provide cost estimates for an issue of stamps derived from this photograph. A completed essay - see "Lakatoi I" front cover - was forwarded only three days later & approved on 11th January! [The EC Harris Archive contained two prints, a 'glossy' from the undamaged original (minor toning on the reverse) & a 'matte', very similar to this item. They sold at our auction of 12.10.2012 for $844 & $1395 respectively] (2 items)
