Sperati Forgeries: 1848 “Post Paid” 1d, a spectacular assembly of twelve items for the production process of this famous stamp, comprising seven glass clichés in the various colours preferred by Sperati to create good contrasts, four
clichés on celluloiud showing experimentation with colour shades, also proofs on medium wove paper, one exhibiting a double impression in black, with Sperati’s note “2/1”; a truly remarkable selection that shows the progression of the matrix from
glass clichés to experimental impression. The lot is housed in Sperati’s box “Nouvelles Plaques Eclair, Papiers Photographiques”.Additional note on rarity and relevance: Nothing about the “Post Paid” was recorded in the Sperati II handbook by Robson
Lowe and Carl Walske, and no examples were found in the Musée de la Poste of Paris. (Image 1)
