    ½ peso orange-yellow, the famous horizontal strip of ten, clear to large margins all round, close on first stamp but not impinging on the design, showing the complete five Transfer Types A-B-C-D-E repeated, this strip being the proving multiple for the arrangement of the cliches ob the lithographic Stone, the composition of the sheet being sixteen 'bloc report' of 5 positions. Some vertical creases not apparent on face and of no significance on such a multiple which is individually cancelled by dotted oval 'Lima' handstamps in black. Together with the vertical block of ten this is the largest multiple of the ½ peso and of impeccable provenance. A major rarity of Peruvian and South American classic philately.

    Note: All catalogues, Scott, Stanley Gibbons, Michel and Yvert perpetually get the date of issue of the 'Trencito' wrong. It was believed by Julio Lugon to have been issued in April 1870, possibly on April 13, certainly the stamps were printed in that month and year. Covers have been verified and certified by acknowledged experts in the field as used in 1870 for some time.
