1894 First Issue
Colour Trials
40c. black on thick grey paper, perf.12 with typewritten "specimen" in gold; with some gum. The paper has a red hue to it and appears to be red paper with a grey wash print on both sides. An unusual and intriguing trial. Not the best colours to choose for clarity. Photo


1894年九江第一次版試色樣票; 肆角, 黑色印於厚灰色紙上, 齒孔十二度, 以打字機打上金色"specimen"; 保留部份原膠, 紙張呈紅色色調, 看起來本是紅色紙, 但兩面都以灰色蓋印. 一個不尋常和有趣的試色票, 為清晰起見, 相信這不是最好的顏色配搭.
