1 / 2
Lithographed by Bradbury Wilkinson 1890/94: Imperforate Proof for the 2½ a. black on deep yellow, thick unwatermarked paper, wide margins at sides without gum and slight aging on reverse. With opinion from John Minns who possessed a similar example (a pair was in the Dunstan and Pennycuick collections), all of the known examples show a small violet "*" on reverse. It is presumed these rare Proofs were for presentation or display purposes. Extremely rare.Starting bid : 400 CHFHammer price : 1,500 CHF -
