This value was adopted to serve postal duty and to replace the 2sh6p Inland Revenue embossed stamp, hence the "Postage & Revenue" legend. No essays were created for this value, as it was hastily executed by adapting a 3sh essay. It shows the tightly spaced wording, and the "2/6" looks more like a fraction than a shilling value.

1840: Perkins Bacon engine-turned background Trial finally selected
in 1840 for the Line Engraved 1 d. and 2 d. adhesive stamps, plate
proof impression in black on India paper (143 x 225 mm). Originally
designed for a central band for a specimen banknote Perkins Bacon
had submitted to the Bank of England (circa 1822) with a view to
obtaining the contract for printing the bank notes. This is the
Proof printing actually illustrated in the Stanley Gibbons
Specialised catalogue, November 2020, on page 60 Gi DP9a = £
30'000. Note: The original 19th. century proof printings exist with
various engraved markings outside the double frame line at top left
(or bottom right): 'Page 123‘, '3‘ or without engraving. The
earliest proof printings submitted to the Bank of England were
without an engraved note. The proof printings with 'Page 123‘ (as
offered here) is the 1827 published in London example from
Transaction of the society for the encouragement of Arts,
Manufactures and Commerce. This state of the printing plate was
also used for the 6th. Edition of Thomas Joplin’s book "An Essay of
the General Principles and Present Practices of banking in England
and Scotland (1826). In later years, the engraving 'Page 123‘ was
removed leaving only the '3‘ (of 123) visible. Thomas Joplin was
was the Chief Officer of the Provincial Bank of Ireland and he
ordered his plates from Perkins, Fairman and Heath (later renamed
Perkins Bacon) beginning in 1820.
