Ecuador, Classics, an Important Reference Collection, Imperfs Only. For the specialist looking for the Coat of Arms 1865/72 unwatermarked on quadrille and wove papers with blocks of 4 for the official 19th century reprints of 1893, essentially disclosing the specific errors or differences in position as would be on the originals, accompanied by little arrows pointing out all the subtle differences for all denominations well written up, including the half real blue on different papers white and colored, through to the 1 real both buff and yellow (#3 and #4) again showing the various constant varieties, as well as inconsistencies in the actual positions within the sheet and of course both white and blue papers including the latter with blue lines on reverse. Further studies include the 1 real green #4, with a similar pattern including misplaced clichés as well as distinctly different shades not listed in Scott etc, ending in the high values 4 reales red and 4 reales red brown with a total of over 20 different blocks virtually all in pristine condition. A very impressive collection with much scholarship and certainly difficult to replace today, if not impossible as some of these are far scarcer than the originals. A much recommended collection for the specialist. (Image)
