1854 (February)? Group of Thullier(?) lithographed essays, comprising 'POSTAGE HALF ANNA' (black on salmon) and 'POSTAGE ONE ANNA' (black on blue) designs of Queen Victoria (24 x 20mm), two of each value affixed to small pieces, also similar values and colours but circular designs showing a "Coat of Arms", Half Anna and One Anna (2) again affixed to small pieces, fine and very rare, not being known to Spence, and only discovered in 1980. (See "The Philatelist" Dec 1980). In 1853 it was decided that Indian stamps should be printed in India rather than London, and Col. Forbes (the Superintendent of the machinery at the mint in Calcutta) was consulted to produce such stamps. Subsequently it was deemed that his design (the Lion and Palm Tree) could only be printed singly and therefore the mint was unable to supply the approximate number (25million) required in sufficient time. This led to Captain Thullier (Deputy Surveyor General, Calcutta) being commissioned to prepare stamp designs for half, one, four and eight Anna stamps. Amonst the designs/essay not chosen were the circular design which was based on the East India 1pice coin bearing the Arms of Great Britain, and the rectangular design which was based on the Great Britain 1840 1d black and 2d blue issued stamps, the idea for these possibly came after Lord Dalhousie expressed a view that the stamps should be of a simple design with the Coat of Arms and Queen's head.
