A world rarity and without doubt the most important philatelic item of classic Ecuador philately. Cert. Moorhouse (2016).rnrnThis multiple is believed to have been cut from the extraordinary multiples of 48, both of which were in the Ferrary collection (Broquelet & Gilbert, Paris, Sale XIII, 23-24 June 1925, lot 16). The lot was purchased by Charles J. Phillips (former owner of Stanley Gibbons) who had emigrated to the USA in 1922. One block was evidently split for resale by Phillips, however one block of 48 was sold to B. H. Homan Jnr. a stamp dealer of ‘Homan, Krassa & Co.’ who personally collected Ecuador and was the source for the Harry L. Lindquist Collectors Club article on Ecuador. It appears the multiple was again trimmed to its present state - the block is without doubt the largest and most spectacular of this iconic stamp.rnrnProvenance: Collection Fiorenzo Longhi.rn                     Collection Dr. Arthur K.
