 1858/60: Diadem 2 d., Plate 1, the unique Plate Proof sheet of 120 subjects (12 x 10) printed in black on medium wove paper, with circular punch-holes through positions 6, 11, 12, 24, 36, 73, 97, 104 and 105 in indicate where
repairs were required. The reverse bears the manuscript notation "The perforated labels to be renewed. The Plate to be returned as speedily as posible" and is signed and dated by Thomas Richards ("Sydney 13 Sep. 1860") with a Treasury handstamp of
the same day in red. The Plate was then sent back to London for Perkins Bacon to repair the damaged impressions as punched and, whilst the Plate was in London, further positions were also retouched. The sheet also demonstrates just how close some
positions were to each other, especially in the vertical margins between the fourth, five and sixth rows. Creased, especially through the sixth vertical row and the fifth horizontal row, but a unique and extraordinary item for the connoisseur of New
South Wales classic philately. Note: Position 24 (Row 2 / position 12 = Gi. 112a, the 'major retouch') and position 104 (Row 9 / stamp 8 = Gi 133a 'retouched'), it is also interesting to note that Gibbons and Robson Lowe state there were ten
retouches to the Plate I sheet whereas we see here just the nine positions punched to notify the stamps in need of repair. Note: Illustrated in the Robson Lowe Encyclopaedia, Volume IV, page 37-39, where further discussed. Provenance: Collection Dr.

Trans-Continental Railroad made the route via
Marseilles even less
desirable as it was much slower. Provenance: Schuyler Rumsey sale
