Die Proof
5/- die proof in carmine on white glazed card (92x60mm) without markings; produced by De la Rue for the 1867 Paris Exhibition. There is some very minor discolouration around the edges, which is typical of the card used for these proofs. Exceptionally fine and unmounted. An important rarity as only one or two of each colour exist in private hands. Cat. £18,000. Photo
