    60 reis grey-black, Early Intermediate Impression, the fantastic mint block of 20 from the First Large plate, State B, with enormous margins all round and showing the full vertical marginal line at right, positions 9-12/15-18/21-24/27-39/33-36 on the sheet of 60 subjects. This famous multiple, the second largest known after the complete sheet (in the Alemany collection), is very fresh and fine with just a minor crease in the second row and a few bends of no significance compared to the importance and rarity. An exquisite multiple of great visual appeal.
    Provenance: Collection Guinle (1937); Philip H. Ward Jr. (1963); Lilly (1968), lot 65; Norman S. Hubbard (1986).
