1168 bof/(*) image1852 (Dec): Perkins Bacon Plate Proof, imperforate on unwatermarked thick toned paper, the extraordinary block of forty-four subjects (11 x 4) printed in black. The block with large even margins all round, tiny marginal tear at right between the third and fourth rows, minor ironed wrinkles not affecting the stunning appearance of such a large multiple - originally the second largest recorded, although this describer believes the larger multiple may now been split and thus this is probably the largest now extant.
