1861, 1p. rose lilac, the sensational block of four, positions 8-9 / 17-18, showing slightly shifted vertical rows, sheet margins on two sides from the top right corner, being large at base and left, graced by fresh precise impression and deep shade. Trace of corner crease just affecting the upper left corner frame line of one adhesive and scissors cut between bottom two stamps, in no way detracting. The most spectacular of the two largest recorded multiples of this value, being unique as a block of four, while the other multiple is just a strip. The most important showpiece of this value, as well as an important rarity of Colombian philately. Cert. Bortfeldt and Rendon. Scott 18. Ex Larsen, Londoño and Sánchez Vega.
