1877-79 comprehensive and extraordinary collection on stock sheets and album pages, with by far the most complete range of 'G' overprints on Cape of Good Hope Revenues we have seen, with most listed types represented (surcharges in both red and black) and values to £10 written up noting perforation varieties. Also Bourne Head issues to £5 used, with multiple examples of most values and cancellation interest. A highly impressive lot which would take many years to replicate. (Image)
