 Pacific Steam Navigation Co 1857: Perkins Bacon Master Die Proofs, imperforate, printed in
black on thick paper, both with good to large margins all round, each stuck down on non-contemporary white card. Extremely rare with just five sets recorded in private hands.rnNote: The difference between the 1 real Die and Plate Proofs can be seen
in the smoke from the Steamer: in the Die Proofs the smoke extends to the edge of the inner oval at right. On the Plate Proofs (offered below) the smoke does not reach the inner oval. On the 2 reales value the Die Proof shows a small crack at the
base of the '2', this had been repaired on the Plate Proofs.rnProvenance: Corinphila sale 84, Oct 1992, lor 5509. (Image 1)

paper, in issued and unissued colours for the 1 real and 2 reales values, printed in blue, red-brown and in black. Some slight aging on the blue examples but an exceptional group and very rare.rnNote: The red-brown examples were printed after those
printed in blue. This can be evidenced by the red-brown examples showing elements of blue spotting especially noticeable around the value tablets where the plate had been insufficiently cleaned. (Image 1)
