    8 reales red-lilac, 'Zacatecas' District overprint, the superb mint block of four (two rejoined vertical pairs), with ample to large margins all round and of good colour, showing two 'Zacatecas' District overprints on each stamp presumably to facilitate bisection as Zacatecas used more 'Splits' than any other District. Of fine fresh colour and appearance, a remarkable and scarce multiple with large part og.

    Provenance: Collection Renato Mondolfo, Corinphila sale 70 (March 1984) lot 3216.
                            Bill Shelton (Feb 1985) lot 1927.

    Note: A very similar block, presumably from the same sheet was in the John M. Taylor collection (March 1960) lot 235.
