| Descrizione |
1858, 1 d. blue, a rejoined block of 14 exhibiting two partial transfer panes, composed of three multiples with vertical strip of three at left, vertical block of six and block of five at right, types 11-12-13-14 / 12-17-18-19-15 / 1-2-3-4-5, including substituted transfer 12 in position 16 and transfer 15 in position 20, the latter being a rare replacement in a position other than 16, showing ''Trujillo'' straight-line handstamp for each vertical row. Position 16 became damaged and was replaced during the transfer process in each of the probable 8 transfer blocks in the full printing plate by a different cliché; also a few other transfers were substituted in particular positions, these latter ones having a greater degree of rarity in comparison to position 16 on transfer block. Some imperfections which hardly detract from the very fine and impressive appearance. A rare and significant assemblage in the daunting effort of reconstructing part of the plate. Cert. Moorhouse. Scott 3. Ex Magonette and Rider.
