This collection comes with excellent pedigree; the majority of lots in the sale have come from the superb collections formed by the likes of Sir Gawaine Baillie, Joseph Hackmey and Major Henry Dumas alongside other award-winning collections of New

The sale begins, fittingly with the incredibly scarce 1d. dull carmine-red printed by Perkins Bacon and we are proud to offer both a mint example and several used examples including the unique used vertical pair (Ex. Patterson), other notable lots
include examples of the 1855 London Printings 2d. dull blue and 1/- yellow-green, the 1855 J. Richardson 1d. orange, a superb mint example of the 1857-63 1/- dull emerald-green as well as a range of scarce multiples and attractive covers.
