1910/11: Large Papua 2 s. 6 d. black and brown specialised plating study comprising twelve unused examples, including both Type B (1910) and Type C (1911) printings, illustrating master plate transfers and multiple retouches to the stone, with identified positions including: 7, 11, 12, 14, 17, 20, 22, 25 and 29. The group demonstrates the progression from first printing transfers through later retouched states. Both
upright and inverted watermark (3) orientations are represented, adding further technical depth to the study. The page forms an advanced examination of the lithographic process on the key high denomination, clearly illustrating
the transfer characteristics from the original British New Guinea 2 s. 6 d. master plates to the Papua working stones. Condition generally fine to very fine unused with large part original gum. A rarely assembled and instructive
plating group of this important high value Gi = £ 900+. (Image 1)
