    20 c. black on yellowish thick paper, an outstanding mint block of four, marginal from right of sheet with marginal rule vertically at right (filet d'encadrement), with large margins all round, diagonal natural paper flaw in margin at right and just touching the fourth stamp. Fine colour and large part original gum. A rare and splendid multiple. Signed Roumet, Calves. Cert. Roumet.

    Note: The 'Filet d'encadrement' was not apparent on all sheets printed of the 1849 Cérès issue, it was to be deliberately introduced on the later Présidence and Empire issues.
