1878-83 The Large Dragon Issue
1 Candareen, Setting II
1ca. deep green, a spectacular block of twenty with margins both sides, large part original gum. These are many split and reinforced perforations and the upper left corner block has been rejoined, there is a tone spot in the right margin and a couple of creases. The appearance is fresh and fine and exhibits the typical 'watery' ink of this shade.


This is the largest block from Setting II and it is a very important item of the highest exhibition standard
