Hungary - 1871 Lithographed 3 Kreuzer: group of 13 items including nine glass support clichés, two celluloid clichés, one exposure trial dated 4/40 -which corresponds to what is reported in Sperati I for one negative- and one working proof, these exhibiting a nice array of colours (green, dark green, red, silver grey and black), with also some technical annotations "1'10" " or "2' " indicating Sperati timed steps of production to attain the desired results during light exposure, or interesting notes such as "Agfa voile vio" denoting the film used and the violet filter to obtain an appropriate contrast; in addition 10 different genuine cancellations on small paper cover fragments, making a total of 23 items for this lot; by far the most important assembly of Hungary in existence and the first one offered publicly; as a demonstration of the significance of this lot, only one single definitive reproduction of the 3 Kreuzer stamp was inside the "Ultimate" collection of Sperati; this country was not offered through the auction sale.

1925, Madonna and Child, 5000k dark green and yellow-green, centre inverted error of printing, mint, original gum, very lightly mounted, fresh and clean with vibrant colour, beautifully centred, one of the world's most iconic stamp varieties and Hungary's most coveted and valuable stamp; this example has the usual crease in the bottom margin (like the Ryan example), otherwise very fine, the greatest modern Hungarian rarity (Michel €16'000).
Note: According to the Ryan collection there was only one sheet issued of this error, and less than 100 examples recorded (used and unused), with at least 38 of these seemingly tied to museums. (Image)
