    1911: De La Rue Essay for the proposed high values to the 1911 Keyplate issue, an imperforate composite stamp size Essay for the 10 s. value in sunken thick card (85 x 91 mm.) with printed surround in green, "Gilbert & Ellice Islands Protectorate" and Duty Plates printed and overlaid in white on red, the head-plate affixed and touched up in oval hand-painted in Chinese white. Manuscript "Design head brown, lettering and duty green" at base, dated "Oct 23. 11" at top right. Unadopted as 'Protectorate' was to be omitted from the issued set and no 10 s. value was issued but in actuality a proposal not specifically for the Gilbert & Ellice Islands but for new high values designs for all British Colonial Keyplates - however, on Nov 16, 1911 the Crown Agents turned down the new proposal. Illustrated in the "The De La Rue Collection" edited by Frank Walton RDP., on page 2047. A splendid and beautiful Essay.rnrnProvenance: Spink, London, 13 Oct 2010, lot 234.
