    1844: Inclinado 10 r. black, the used block of thirty-two (4 x 8) with full sheet corner margin at lower right, portions of eleven adjoinging stamps at left and at top, in a vivid shade cancelled by 'Pernambuco Shield' handstamps in black. Some very minor aging and one or two negligible pinholes which are probably natural paper imperfections, an astonishing and rare multiple in wonderful quality for such a large block: the third largest in existence and the second largest used block (and more beautiful than the block of 51). Illustrated on page 150 in 'Slanted Numerals Handbook' by Walter Goncalves Taveira.
