 Shanghai. China, Local Post Shanghai - 1866 12ca, master negative on film with black painted areas within the side tablets and around characters and symbols, as well as in the surround of the stamp design,
such retouches made with the purpose of avoiding the light to diffuse laterally in the process of photographic reproduction. The reproduction of any Shanghai Local Post example by Sperati was previously unknown; this artifact is unique and the only
evidence of the first step in an attempt to reproduce Chinese philately.(Image 1)

 China - Local Post Shanghai - 1866: a glass support cliché showing the overprint “I CAND.” with Chinese lettering underneath, being a denomination of 1 candareen; the surcharge (which shows a damaged “D” on the known genuine
examples) was printed in blue on stamps of the municipal post of Shanghai, little dragon issue, 1873-77. This is a cliché of great importance, showing the phenomenal range of Sperati’s reproduction interests; Sperati’s China reproductions have not
been well-documented, and we know of no finished Sperati reproduction of a Shanghai local stamp with this surcharge.(Image 1)
