 Rainbow Trials 1840 (May): Perkins Bacon Rainbow Trial sheet of twelve subjects (4 x 3),
State 3b, printed in pale red-brown on thin wove paper, watermarked with small part of double lined letters 'Y & / ERS' at base. Each Trial impression with uniform waxed top right hand corner missing (the grooves on the Plate were assumed to have
been filled with wax and thus failed to print. However, this has recently been dispute) and without the Corner Lettering. The sheet dipped in prussiate of potash and thus leaving a greyish tinge to the paper and one or two blue spots when held up to
the light. A delightful sheet, of sublime colour and appearance and beautiful engraving. A great rarity for the connoisseur of classical philately Gi = £ 55'000.rnProvenance: Collection Sir John Dodd, Robson Lowe, 28 March 1962, lot 30;
