1863, 5c. orange, the astonishing block of three  showing upper adhesive printed sideways, positioned at second to the right in the top horizontal row of the sheet, bottom stamps from type II, vivid and radiant colour, mostly large margins, just cut into in small place at base of bottom right adhesive. Two gum creases of no importance. One of only about five multiples from the upper sheet setting including sideways position that are in existence, this being the second largest recorded, which also made the sheet reconstruction possible. A key item of Colombian philately. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 30. Ex Larsen and Kaplan.
