1885/1895: Error of Colour, 4 d. lilac instead of magenta, the famous fine unused horizontal pair of this rare stamp, issued in error during December 1886, of excellent colour, well centred and with large part og. Trivial imperfections of no significance, an exceptional pair of great rarity, there being but 9 recorded unused examples - this pair being the finest of the two recorded pairs of this error and, indeed, the only horizontal one (the vertical pair is illustrated in "The Stamps of Victoria" by Geoff Kellow RDP on colour plate 15 and is not as fine). A great rarity of Australian philately with what could be termed the perfect 'Victoria' provenance Gi = £ 28'000+.rnrnProvenance: Collection David H.
