Great Britain 1911 6d dull purple colour trial, SG245var.

A very fine imperforate example printed on ungummed unwatermarked paper, produced at Somerset House in 1911 for comparative purposes with the new Georgian colours.

A rare and interesting colour trial with the use of King Edward VII trials in Edwardian colours for the new King George V stamps.
