Spain - 1850 First Issue, the astonishing assembly made up of 57 items, including 10r two negative glass cliches in greyish blu, one with hand painted purple around, four glass clichés with the best result being obtained in two examples in vermilion shades as indeed this was the colour which got excellent contrasts, one dated January 1933, two clichés on celluloid classified as A & b produced in 1939 and 1940 in the preferred colours by Sperati for contrasts, vermilion and black (greyish), trial exposure on photographic paper (in this case for the 6r), continuing with the 10r in 12 essays on wove paper with interesting annotations and of which three composed of two examples (two in contrasting colours), two finished reproductions including one on piece; the rest of the lot is devoted to cancellations with abundant essays on paper, three clichés on celluloid and interesting cutouts from genuine covers to retain Baeza cancellations on cellophane. An extraordinary and unique group (only one cliché was included in the "Ultimate" collection). (Image)

Spain - 1851 2 reales & 5 reales, an exceptional assembly of 65 comprising, for the 2r: 28 glass clichés of the 2r in a wide range of colours and also including negative examples and additional protections in glass, 8 clichés on celluloid with three very rarely mounted on card, one trial exposure on photographic paper and 19 essays (6 including two impressions) in vermilion, red, black or alternative shades in black, seven reproductions of which one single and two pairs on three pieces tied by "araña" cancellations; the 5r includes two glass clichés, one trial exposure on photographic paper and a final reproduction of the 5r error of colour in brown-red; in addition one glass cliché of the 6 reales in red. Many items showing notations of Sperati of great interest for research. The unique and largest assembly of this kind in existence.
Note: In order to provide a proof of the high significance of this lot and others related in this sale, we have to mention that the Postal Museum in Paris possesses 59 clichés for all issues of Spain, this being, after the Italian States-Italy and Switzerland, the third highest number included in its collection for one country or region. This lot, only for the 1851 issue of Spain, includes 39 clichés. This fact can also assist in understanding the high relevance of the collection presented in this historical catalogue and the dominating presence of clichés throughout. (Image)

Spain, Local Post Madrid - 1853 1cu & 3cu, group of eight items comprising 1cu with one trial exposure of the type A on photographic paper pencilled below "dur fort" (hard strong), one reproduction with the impression on the gummed side apparently being a new type; the 3cu with negative glass cliché in brown-grey with Sperati indicating "15°x6x1'30" " referring to the temperature, the 6% of a chemical substance used and the exposure to sunlight of one minute thirty seconds (these elements were produced in January 1916, a period in winter when the temperature inside his laboratory could easily reach that low figure), four additional glass clichés with image reversed as usual in different colours and notes including the date "1/16" and in two different times of sunlight exposure, temperatures and substance percentages, as well as one cliché on celluloid in orange-vermilion to obtain a good contrast and designated "verichrome" (the Kodak panchromatic film featuring extremely fine grain); a unique and most fascinating group of these rare stamps. As it is the norm despite the risk of sounding rather repetitive, when we present clichés and we compare the "Art of Sperati" collection with the "Ultimate" one, the latter did not contain any matrix, glass clichés or clichés on celluloid of the compared issue.
