    1849: Cérès 1 fr. 'vermillon pâle', the so called 'Vervelle', fresh colour with good to large margins all round (minute thin as usual for this stamp), unused without gum. An extremely rare shade, cert. Calves (1997) Cérès 2008 = EUR 30'000/Mi I = EUR 22'000.

    Note: A part sheet of the 'Vervelle' was found by a philatelist of that name in the legal estate of Anatole Hulot (1811-1892). These stamps were not gummed and printed on very thin paper which explains the thins which characterise them. They present for sure a very early printrun of the 1 fr. which was not thought for the public.
