    1865/68: Composite Colour Trial for 2 pi. and 25 pi. values printed in green in a vertically se-tenant pair perf. 12½, fresh and very fine, hinged to prevent splitting but large part og. Just one sheet (probably of 60 subjects) printed in this colour, horizontally all values are the same, thus only vertical pairs show different face values. Extremely rare, the Alanyali pair (Corinphila, lot 9265) was damaged and thus this is the sole fine pair extant.
    Provenance: Collection Sir John Wilson (1935).

                            Collection Platinga.
