On the 1st January, the Fiftieth Anniversary of the British North Borneo Company’s administration of this territory will be commemorated by a special series of postage stamps. It is not our wish, nor our custom, to eulogise every new issue which appears, but we are going to state, here and now, that the forthcoming North Borneo set, of which we are able to illustrate die-proofs, is one of the most beautiful which has been made – the designing and the colouring being superb.
And that is a conservative statement since many may consider it the most beautiful of all. North Borneo has always given us attractive postage stamps but these excel anything that they have offered us before.
