1858, 1 d. blue, an impressive complete transfer block reconstruction of 19+1 types, including substituted transfer 13 for the number 16 in the first position of the fourth row. This reconstruction comprises six single copies and seven pairs of which one includes the substituted transfer. All items displaying clear to large margins for the most part and three different shades, with a variety of cancellations including Paita, ''Vapor'', Pasco, Huanuco, Lima, Piura and Chincha-Alta. Six copies with slight imperfections.
This first issue denomination is believed to have been printed in sheets of 160 stamps 10 across and 16 down, and being composed of several transfer blocks with each one including position 16 filled up by 12 different types of the original transfer of 19 types, with a few other positions in the plate being apparently worn or defective which were also replaced; the evidence points to there being more than one printing stone.
A rare and difficult assemblage, of striking appearance for exhibition. Cert. Moorhouse. Scott 3. Ex Rider.
