 1866, 50r blue, featuring the "cracked plate" variety in the lower left denomination, in addition being imperforate at top, unused without gum, very fresh; the only example recorded of the "cracked plate" variety in the lower left value
tablet, unrecorded in the Catálogo Enciclopédico and offered for the first time at auction in this sale, a major rarity of this issue. Ex Dr. de Amaral Machado.
Note: The famous "cracked plate" is only recorded in this value and is located in the upper left value tablet only (in contrast with the current item) and very few examples are known showing the variety at lower left confined to the margin between
the design and the perforation. This plate variety, which is the most popular and prominent in the "Dom Pedro" issues, is valuable and traditionally sought after by collectors, especially the one with the "cracked plate" in the margin. The importance
of the regular variety in these two variants helps to support the high significance and value of this unique item revealed in this sale.(Image 1)

 1866, 50r blue, featuring the "filigrana de sutura" ("suture" or "stitch" watermark) vertically and horizontally in two single examples, cancelled in black and blue, usual toning and one stamp with natural paper wrinkle mentioned for
accuracy; an exceedingly scarce duo. Ex Dr. de Amaral Machado.
Note: The "suture" watermark is caused by the splicing of the felt that carried the wet paper -during the process of its manufacture-, which was made with metallic threads. It is an accidental filigree with the appearance of a suture, when the stamp
is examined in benzine.(Image 1)

 CANCELLED STAMPS FOR ROWLAND HILL’S NEPHEW ORMOND HILL
1855, Second London printing, 5c red-brown on blued paper, position 2, an excellent example displaying large margins and with watermarked lines at left, bright colour, neatly struck with "CANCELLED" obliterator and preserving its original gum.
Illustrated in the Peter Jaffe handbook on page 37. One of just three examples recorded out of the six that can exist. Cert. BPA (1995).
Note (as quoted by Peter Jaffe in "Cancelled by Perkins Bacon“, published for Spink & Son Ltd by James Bendon Ltd (1998): In April 1861 Ormond Hill, the nephew of Rowland Hill, asked to Joshua Butters Bacon, the head of Perkins Bacon & Co., to
procure him six specimens of new or uncommon stamps for him or his friends. In August, the Perkins Bacon & Co. sent obliterated examples of each of the stamps named in a list by Ormond Hill. It turned out that the supply of the Crown Agents‘ property
was given without authority and Ormond Hill was not asked to return the "specimens". As a consequence, the case damaged Perkins Bacon reputation and its task as printers for the Crown Agents. The Stanley Gibbons catalogue prices such Ormond Hill,
Perkins Bacon "CANCELLED" stamps of the British colonies at £9000 to £32000, only six examples of each stamp can exist at most.

 1874 (Aug 24). Envelope sent free of charge from Santiago to England, addressed to Bellefontaine prés Montereau (France), with illustrated ''Sociedad Nacional de Agricultura/Chile 1869'' marking with cow, plough and bale, as well as
''Dirección General de Correos/Receptoría(?) de Chile'' handstamp with postman riding a horse, "Santiago/Chile" cds and framed ''Franca'', the latter three all in violet. The cover shows on reverse the cachet of the Chilean consulate in Liverpool,
which makes believe that this mail was most probably carried in a mail bag for diplomatic correspondence carried via Panama and addressed to the Chilean consul in Liverpool, from where it was forwarded to France via the regular mail, posted and
franked with very fine Great Britain 1874 6 d. grey (pl. 13, ''Huth'' perfin),tied by "Liverpool 16 OC 74" duplex, with red oval ''PD'' alongside, showing French transits and arrival on front and reverse. Cover with imperfections due to rough opening
at top, nevertheless an exceptional, fascinating and probably unique mixed franking of Chilean official mail with Great Britain stamps, including a most rare usage of transatlantic diplomatic mail.
