6309 imageThere were six different despatches of various values from Brabdury Wilkinson, each probably representing a seperate printing, however only five values had more than one printing: ½ a., 2½ a. (three printings), 1 a., 3 a. and 4½ a. (two printings). The printings of October 1890, Feb 1891 and July 1891 were on thin paper with a central papermaker's watermark and had a close imperforate edge to the sheet. The sheets comprised 560 stamps (10 x 6) so that 24 stamps of the early printings have one edge imperforate and 4 have two adjacent edges imperforate. Later printings were on thicker, unwatermarked paper with wide margin perforated at the edges.rnrnLithographed by Bradbury Wilkinson 1890/94: Bradbury Wilkinson Die Proof of the 2 a. value in bright crimson, Imperforate on thick (0.1 mm.) paper, without gum. Extremely rare with no example in Danson, Rossiter or 'Shivani' collections. (Image 1) (Image 2)

John Minns who possessed a similar example (this being the pair that was in the Dunstan and Pennycuick collections), this pair does not show the small violet "*" on reverse found on the few single examples recorded. It is presumed these Proofs were for presentation or display purposes. Extremely rare. (Image 1) (Image 2)
