    1864/65: Essay for the Posta Europea Service, prepared by Muzzi for a proposed stamp issue, the extraordinary block eleven and a half Essays in typical Posta Europea format of the period, inscribed "POSTA EUROPEA / BONO PER / Parà / 30 / MANSURA" lithographed in black on bluish-green somewhat stained wove paper with squared guidelined surround; a few incipient faults of no significance. Reported by by Jan Boulad and by Peter Smith erroneously as a block of twenty rather than twelve, this multiple is the sole 'Plate Proof' of the proposed issue - the Proofs themselves were of four values in circular format (10 pa. yellow, 20 pa. in deep blue, 30 pa. in green and 1 pi. in pale rose) an example of which can be found in Corinphila sale 165, Nov 2010, lot 651. Illustrated in 'Posta Europea' by Luca Biolato, discussed by Smith on pages 22-23. The project was ended by the sale of the Posta Europea to the Government in 1864/65, stamps being issued for the country a year later. Unique and extraordinary multiple. Signed Todd AIEP. Cert. A. Diena (1960).
