Note: On 4 December 1900 the Government of Jamaica wrote to the Crown Agents expressing dissatisfaction with the 1d. stamps printed in one instead of two colours. De La Rue agreed that a two-colour stamp would give a much better effect though pointing out that the Crown Agents had selected and approved a single colour stamp.
