1897 Red Revenue Surcharges In January 1896 (Guangxu 21st Year, 11th Month) Censor Chen Bi petitioned the Emperor to approve a project to raise revenues by the issuance of revenue stamps, thus the Red Revenue was designed, ordered and printed in England. Two engraver proofs of the 3 cents revenue stamp essay in black and in red, mounted on card, believed to be later modified designs by the engraver after the approval of the adopted design signed by Sir Robert Hart on March 26, 1896, with distinct similarities and minor differences, certainly one of the greatest discoveries of this elusive and much sought after early issue of Imperial China, a piece of puzzle fitting right in place between the renowned large size essay die proof and the small numbered 2223 die proof.
