60 reis grey-black, Intermediate Impression on yellowish paper, the magnificent vertical block of ten from the Second Large plate, State B, positions 5-6/11-12/17-18/23-24/29-30 and thus from the top right corner of the sheet, with outer frame line visible at top. Huge margins all round and neatly cancelled by "Correio Geral Da Corte" datestamps (April 8, 1845). But for a horizontal crease in margin between the third and fourth rows a faultless and delightful multiple of the utmost importance in Brazilian philately. Illustrated in "Bulls Eyes" by Brookman on page 9, when the multiple was a vertical block of twenty, this being both the finest and most attractive of the two multiples. A truly wonderful Exhibition piece for the specialist.
