    1863/64: 5 c. yellow, the magnificent irregular 'block' of three, the upper stamp positioned sideways, large margins all round upper stamp and close at base with left stamp corner crease but of exquisite fresh colour, superb large part original gum. An outstanding multiple with just four similar multiples recorded. Cert. Bortfeldt (2008).rnrnNote: It is probable but as yet unclear, that the entire top horizontal row of the sheet of 71 or 72 stamps (8 x 9) was printed sideways. This block comes from the upper right of sheet with the lower pair being positions R2: 6-7 in the horizontal row of eight.
