CHF 800 Currently (SAN)...CHF 800.00 Closing..Dec-09, 04:30 AM 60742 Proof,DE 56P 1880 25 bani "Perle" black proofs on coloured paper, mounted on thin card measuring approximately 56 × 12.5 cm and headed “Încercări de timbre confecționate cu cerneală neagră pe hârtie colorată” (“Trials of stamps produced in black ink on coloured paper”). Above each of the 18 proofs, the colour of the paper is annotated in French (rose clair, jaune foncé, chamois clair, vert pomme foncé, vert d’eau, bleu pâle, etc.). A sample of each corresponding coloured paper is mounted above the inscriptions, but unfortunately some paper colours have discoloured over time. In his 1945 study, Ed. Cohen recorded only 13 colours for the 25 bani black proofs on coloured paper. The present item therefore documents a broader range of paper colours than that mentioned in his work. Although speculative, the item may be associated with Alexandru Cantacuzino, Head of the Stamp Factory and General Stamp Depot, who also prepared displays of this type of material and would have been familiar with the commercial names of the papers used. It may represent a paper Modelar, comparable to a colour Modelar recorded from this period for the Bucharest Issue. The card has a vertical crease in the centre, not affecting the proofs, and is otherwise in fine to very fine condition. An apparently unique and important item for Romanian philately, as no other similar items are recorded.
