1849 Rejected Designs for the First Issue Robert Clayton's 1d design based on Great Britain's 'Penny Black' lithographed proofs in
blue, scarlet or blue & scarlet all on stout wove paper, reduced to stamp-size, aged on the reverse. The originals - illustrated by Alfred Basset-Hull on Plate I - were sold by Alfred van Dyck to Thomas Tapling, but not before he had made several
sets of facsimiles. Sir Gawaine Baillie's similar set, affixed to a non-contemporary piece of paper endorsed "4", sold in 2005 for $2795. The Baillie catalogue noted one other set, in George Ginger's collection, but we can't locate it in the Ginger
catalogue: this may be the set referred to. (3) (Image1) (Image2)

1850-51 Sydney Views Robert Clayton's 1d plate proof in orange-red on pelure paper horizontal strip of 3 [Pos 13-15], good even
margins except where just touched at lower-right and with a nick just clear of the base of the central unit, faint and inconsequential soiling on the reverse. Rare. Ex 'Manwood', where it was stated that the central unit has a tiny thin spot, which
we cannot discern. Sold at our auction of 15.8.2014 for $2900. Believed to be one of only two strips of three & the equal-largest surviving multiple. At least the equal of Ric Slade-Slade's strip that sold at our auction of 4.3.2006 for $3910. (Image1) (Image2)

aged on the reverse. Ex Sir Gawaine Baillie: sold in 2005 for $1280. The original (also with a 1d in vermilion), illustrated by Alfred Basset-Hull on Plate I, was sold by Alfred van Dyck to Thomas Tapling, but not before he had made several sets of
facsimiles. The Baillie catalogue also included a facsimile of the piece sold to Tapling, which bears the extraordinary note "The form and colors [sic] are approved..." If proceeded with, the 3d would have been the world's first bicoloured stamp. (Image1) (Image2)
