It once formed the top of the sheet and consists of five entire rows of twelve stamps each. The margins are intact and perfect; the right and left hand corners of the margin contain the plate number II [.....] I took these figures to represent No 2 in Roman Numerals, but from enquiries made this summer (1894) I ascertained beyond doubt, that the practice has always been to number the sheets in Arabic Numerals. It proves therefore, that the block above described is not an impression from plate 2, but from plate 11 [...]."rnFrank Godden stated (date unknown): "The rarest known British piece in the world"  rnProvenence:rnThe original block:rnEarl of Kingston (1894)rnStanley Gibbons (acquired 1896)rnEarl of Crawford (1911)rnSparrow (acquired 1912)rnCharles Nissen (1912) subsequently split into a block of 36 rows A-C and a block of 24 rows D-E.rnThe Block of twenty-four containing EA-EB:rnExhibited by Frank Wadham, London Int.
