    Danube Steam Navigation Co 1866/78: Lithographic composite Plate Proof for 1866/68 17 kr. and 1878 10 kr., Die II, in black in Transfer blocks of twenty of each value (2 x 10), printed on folded medium rough wove brown paper (247 x 398 mm.), pencil file number "1154" at top, which suggests this Proof was made much earlier than the issue date for the Die II 10 Kreuzer value (probably before May 1870 as the archive Control sheet was file numbered 1095), thus this establishes the Die II design some eight years prior to eventual issue. From the common small flaws in the designs in the same positions on the Transfer blocks with the 17 kr. laid down initially and the 10 kr. taken from it: these 20 positions being the same as illustrated by Hurt and Kelly for the 10 kr. Die II issue, pencilled "Druckproben-Abzuege der Original Gravur" at base (Proof printings from the original stone). Central horizontal file fold and some edge wear but splendid and exceptionally rare.
