On the 22nd. October 1901, the Inland Revenue reported that they had, had a suggestion from De La Rue regarding the 2/6d. design, namely that he solid background in front of the head was too prominent As proof A; and that it should be vignetted as in B. This could be effected by using lines similar to those at the back of the head. The suggestion met with approval.
