Romania - 1858 "Bull's Head" 108p, group of 39 items comprising seven glass support clichés in different colours including two in negative, one dated February 1941 and one with static cancellation, as well as three essays on paper including one composite on thin white paper showing the design in conjunction with Jassy cds, two blue strikes on very thin paper and one back impression on white wove paper. The lot is enriched with items featuring Jassy and Bakeu cds's: four glass support clichés, of which three are negative, four cellophane fragments with impressed cancellations made in Dec-44 and affixed to an additional cellophane, six clichés on celluloid including two rare examples of which one with red background and cds's in negative, the other three impressions in different colours black, red and blue on one single celluloid (this being a very rare feature in the Sperati artwork) and with small portion of "Recepisse", as well as eight essays on paper of which one to be highlighted as it also possesses the fingerprint of Sperati and "Neg. refait / dur" (negative redone / hard) and dated "12/44"; several auction catalogue cutouts complete the lot where nine show the cancellation highlighted in black which was traced by Sperati including one example of this second step with a piece of cellophane reproducing by hand a Dorohoj cds. An exceptional and unique group which rarity in the Sperati archive and relevance as one of the iconic issues of classic worldwide philately must be considered to conveniently appreciate its importance; no clichés included in the "Ultimate" collection or the Postal Museum in Paris and only two clichés are included in the B.P.A. collection, in this lot pre-dating by seven years the only dated cliché previously known.
