Multiples and reconstructions
used Block Larger Than four 3d. pale blue on blue, a stupendous block of six [1-2, 5-6, 9-10] from the top left corner of a sheet, and a horizontal pair [7-8] originally adjoining it and showing the full reconstruction of the crack, cancelled by c.d.s. (12.5). Extremely fine and one of the most noteworthy multiples extant (to our knowledge the only other such piece recorded showing the complete crack is a used sheet). Of the highest exhibition calibre. Photo in colour
