 THE FERRARY STRIP OF FOUR - LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE - UNIQUE
4c Blue, mint horizontal strip of four, being type 2 retouched (line of colour above FOUR CENTS) together with types 3+4+5, intense blue colour and fresh original gum, light creasing (not apparent from face) and a very light small stain at right,
undoubtedly one of the most important items of this issue and stated by Townsend & Howe (page 37) as being unique with no blocks recorded.
Provenance: This strip has a fantastic pedigree as it has adorned the prestigious collections of Philipp von Ferrary (1921), Alfred Caspary (1957), Josiah Lily (1967) and John E. du Pont (2014). Last sold at auction in 2021 for the equivalent of CHF
16'980 including commission

the end-of-the 19th century. The documents are addressed to K Yung of the Imperial House, Governor of the two Kwang Provinces & Director of the board of war, some tears and wear to the envelopes as can be often expected with these types of documents,
the contents are all in very fine condition, a fascinating and rare group
