 1853 Queen-on-Throne Essay uncleared die proof of the finished 'TWO PENCE' design in indigo with engine-turning beyond the stamp
area and a series of faint guidelines on the die on ungummed double-lined watermark '2' paper with a deckled edge at right. Superb. Unissued and rare: only six examples recorded, of which three are institutionalised. Ex Julian Beresford, Marcel
Stanley, Sir Miles Rivett-Carnac - sold for £3335 - and 'Alvarado' (Paul Fletcher): sold for £4560.
Geoff Kellow at page 102 in 'The Stamps of Victoria' states that Perkins Bacon produced this design for NSW in error, in November 1853, a mistake that greatly delayed production of the Victorian 1d and 6d in this design. He also states that these
proofs were created in 1877, presumably for the annual South Kensington Exhibition. (Image1) (Image2)

Potas" (?), the page reinforced along a central horizontal fold clear of the proofs. An important developmental item, analagous to the British 'Rainbow Trials'. Ex Perkins Bacon Archives, Ric Slade-Slade and Sir Miles Rivett-Carnac: sold in 2004 for
£8050. (Image1)

 1856-59 QV 'REGISTERED' Imperforate (6d) vermilion & Prussian blue SG 102 corner block of 4 [39-40/49-50] from the lower-right of
the sheet, margins good to huge, ironed-out creasing affects the last unit, large-part gum, Cat £8000+. A beautiful block of great importance & impeccable pedigree. Ex Snowden, Tomasini, John Boker, 'Manwood', and 'Carrington' (Mark Dankin): sold for
$12,650 and at our auction of 7.5.2013 for $18,640. BPA Certificate (2012) states "...with large part original gum...is genuine".
This is by far the finer of only two unused blocks in private hands. The other, which formerly adjoined this item, is Guy Hutson's badly creased block of 6, that sold for £10,200 (2013). (Image1) (Image2)

 1856-60 QV Small Diadems Imperforate 2d Plate I plate proof complete sheet of 120 (12x10) in black on ungummed unwatermarked
yellowish wove paper, some ironed-out wrinkling & creasing doesn't detract from the exceptional facial appearance. Unique: an important & magnificent showpiece. This is the only complete proof sheet of any Australian imperforate stamp: see below. Ex
Guy Hutson: sold in 2013 for £2400 (well below what our vendor was prepared to bid).
Apart from its aesthetic appeal, technically this is a highly significant item. Perkins Bacon were master engravers & printers but their plate-making left a lot to be desired. The uneven spacing between the units highlights the inadequacy of that
aspect of their work. We believe the next largest surviving piece is a block of 20. John White had a similar NSW 2d sheet with holes drilled through the eight units to be retouched. However, it was printed 13.9.1860, seven months after the perforated
stamps had been issued. Lord Vestey had two similar Western Australian sheets but they were produced for the 1861 perforated issue.
