Cat No: 22a
1894, Empress Dowager 60th Birthday, 1st printing, 1ca. reddish orange, vertical pair imperforate between (Chan 22a. Scott 16a), the variety being the 2nd and 3rd stamps in a spectacular vertical strip of five with interpane margins at top and left, good color, well centered, unused with large part to full original gum, the imperf. between pair is fresh, never hinged, toned in the interpane margins, Fine to Very Fine and a noteworthy multiple with this variety.
This was originally part of the pane of twenty from the Sir Percival David collection (Robson Lowe, Basel, 18.3.1966, lot 111), which was imperforate horizontally between the 2nd and 3rd row of stamps, thereby yielding four imperforate between vertical pairs. The corner block of ten (2 x 5) from the right of the pane later appeared in the M.F. Huang collection, Zurich Asia (Hong Kong), 21.6.2003, lot 88. Est. HK$40,000-50,000
