Overprint Setting 2
Printing 1, 23 May-1 June 1896 - ½a., 1a. and 2½a. "On BEA"
This first printing of the new setting was of the three low values of the new "On BEA" issue, a small quantity of which were diverted by Remington on their way to Mombasa - comprising 1,800 of the ½a., 1,800 of the 1a. and 1,200 of the 2½a.
The overprints of the ½a. and 1a. were in the normal black ink. The 2½a. stamps were overprinted in red in the not entirely successful interests of legibility
1a. carmine-rose block of thirty (6x5) comprising top half of a pane, R.1/1-5/6, including Arabic "2" for "r" in R.1/3 and antique capital "z" in R.5/1, unused with paper adherences on all; two with small stains though an impressive multiple. S.G. 42, £1,575+. See plating chart in Figure 6. Photo
Note: This block is virtually identical to setting illustrated in Figure 5 , save that the wider space between "z" and "i" in R.1/6 and minor defects in R.2/6 and R.4/5 in the Figure 5 setting had yet to appear
