40073   imageUNIQUE CANCELLATION REMOVAL EXPERIMENT Cancellation removal experiment on 1d in deep blue, state 2 (showing nick on bottom of 10th stamp) in sheet of 12 with red “National Bank of Ireland” cancels, the washed colours of the stamps come from the attempt to remove the red cancels which has been partially achieved but not without damaging the integrity of the stamp. This item is unrecorded by Rowse in his “Rainbow Trials” book, of which he records only three sheets with a red cancel; one in black, one in deep blue and one in black used as part of the cancellation removal experiment, of which the latter is the only item not locked away in the Royal or Post Office museum collection. A marvellous and highly important exhibition or museum piece. Estimate: € 40’000 – € 60’000

GREAT BRITAIN » 1840 1D BLACK AND 1D RED PLATES 1A TO 11
Lot Symbol Catalog No. Descrip Opening
40078   imageTHE FAMOUS WALLACE DOCUMENT The Earliest Dated Penny Black in Existence Unique document from the archive of Robert Wallace: die proof of the Mulready, without value tablet, printed in black on India paper, mounted on stout paper along with an unused 1d black from plate 1a, lettered AI, with endorsement in pencil by Robert Wallace MP: “1st Proof of Penny Postage Stamp Cover(?), presented to Mr. Wallace by the Right Honourable Chancellor of the Exchequer, Francis Thornhill Baring, April 10th 1840.” along top, with “Universal Penny Postage Fly or Loose Stamp, presented to me as above (the 10th April). / These came into public use on the 6th May 1840” below the Penny Black. The Penny Black affixed comes from the plate completed on April 8th 1840, which was put into production on April 11th and officially registered on April 15th. Note: This stamp, from the first row of the sheet, quite probably comes from the first sheet printed. April 10th was also an important day for the Mulready, as it was the day that its design was shown to and approved by the Council of Royal Academicians. Unique document of major historical importance in the story of the Penny Black. Expertise: certified by James Grimwood-Taylor (1992) and BPA (2009) Note: Robert Wallace (1733-1855), was one of the foremost Postal Reformers of the 1830s and 1840s. According to Rowland Hill’s autobiography, Robert Wallace was “One who was in the field (of Postal Reform) more than two years before I began my investigations.” Wallace began the campaign in 1833 that led to cheap postage and the 1d black. He was a principal witness for the Commission of Revenue Enquiry into the Post Office from 1835 to 1836, and it was by his deciding vote as Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Postage in 1838 that the original proposals for cheap postage were recommended to Parliament. Probably the only known example from the first sheet of stamps ever printed anywhere in the world. Estimate: € 50’000 – € 60’000
