 Bermuda - 1883 1s, trial exposure on photographic paper, in black and with inverted image, dated “8/12/40”, the date of this photographic reproduction being of great interest because Sperati's Bermuda 1s proof, which was part
of the "Ultimate" collection, is dated June 21 1915, which confirms that Sperati revised his work even 25 years later.(Image 1)

 British Guiana - 1853-1859 1d ship issue, negative glass support cliché in black, image reversed, with a manuscript production notation along the right side, indicating an exposure time of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, information
necessary for refining the quality of the impression through different exposure times. No mention is found in the literature dedicated to Sperati or on Richard Frajola’s online database of British Guiana, which makes this lot of the highest
importance considering the significance of this territory in classic philately. About 15 items in existence.(Image 1)

 Canada - 1859 17c, negative glass support cliché on reddish black; Sperati worked from a perforated stamp and probably retouched the design rather substantially to make it appear imperforate and draw in missing portions of the
stamp with continuous framelines; an extremely rare example of a reproduction that exists only as working proof and trial exposure, not as a finished reproduction/forgery, no examples of this issue are recorded in the B.P.A. or the Post Museum in
Paris. This was one of the latest works of Sperati.(Image 1)
