1877, 260r dark brown, horizontal block of ten originating from the right of the sheet, wonderfully clear impression, bright colour, exhibiting complete ABN imprint in English, cancelled by segmented cork cancels in blue featuring a light ink which enables the portraits of Dom Pedro to be clearly visible, and intact perforations; the second largest used multiple recorded, unique and a superlative-quality showpiece; ex Comelli, Alemany Indarte and Dr. de Amaral Machado.
Note: As a consequence of its spectacular presence, boasting a freshness out of the norm, the display of the marginal imprint and the wonderful contrast of colours between the stamp and the cancellation, this stamp can be considered as valuable as the largest used multiple known, a non-marginal block of 12 cancelled in black, since the visual impact in terms of beauty of the smaller one is notably more remarkable. As a matter of fact, its hammer price in the Alemany Indarte sale was CHF4,600, whereas the larger block fetched CHF4,800. (Image)
