1819 (Dec) Printed proof (13x21cm) on paper from the very rare "prevention of forgery" article by Perkins Bacon & Co. for the "Society for the encouragement of the arts" journal of 1820, showing a superb range of engraved designs including two 1.5cm circles containing the complete words of the "Creed", a fine portrait of a profile head with laurels, figures of Britannia, a complex chain design etc. (A similar not so fine version illustrated in G W Granzow's book p 41) although they were initially intended for securely printed banknotes, many elements of this essay were used some 20 years later in the design for the 1840 1d black. An exceptionally rare exhibition item and this being only the second example we have seen in private hands, the other last sold in auction in 2013, this example being in finer condition. (Image)
