30 r. grey-black, Intermediate Impression, the famous used "semi-Xifopagus" block of six, from the right hand side of the top pane of 18 subjects with full horizontal and vertical margins on three sides from the first Composite Plate, State D (positions 5-6/11-12/17-18), good to huge margins all round and showing small portion of dividing line at base, cancelled by three centrally struck circular "PORTO ALEGRE / SUL" handstamps (Ayres fig. 1586) in black. Slight ironed bend on central stamps not affecting the dramatic appearance. Extremely rare with just three used multiples larger than four known: this without doubt being the finest of the three. Illustrated in Juchert "Ochsenaugen im Viererblock" on page 19 and on the front cover of Jose Kloke's "Die Ochsenaugen", also illustrated in L.G. Brookman's article on Saul Newbury's collection in the Collectors Club Centenary handbook (1943). A magnificent multiple for the connoisseur.rnProvenance: Saul Newbury (1967); Norman Hubbard, Siegel, New York, 25 May 1986, lot 2019; Dr. Hugo Goeggel, Corinphila sale 183, Sept 2013, lot 3408 .Ausruf : 10.000 CHFZuschlag : 23.000 CHF
