 POSTAL STATIONERY - POSTAL CARDS: 1898 QV 1d Scenic Issue HG 10 complete printer's galley-proof sheet for the eighteen cards from
Series B (all with rounded rectangular vignettes) arranged in 3x6 format printed in black-brown on surfaced paper (not card) measuring 440x565mm, several horizontal or vertical folds through ten units leaving eight units in fine to very fine
condition, some minor soiling and a couple of small repaired peripheral tears. An extraordinary and unique artefact that, despites the folds, presents remarkably well. Ex Ron Butler and Bernie Beston.
Technically, this is a tremendously significant item, for the following reasons: 1) it is the only multi-image scenic postal card proof from Australia that is known to us; 2) it proves the bizarre layout of 17 different views, with 'Parliament
House...' appearing twice, in positions R2/3 & R3/3; and 3) the stamp indicia appear to be from all-different electros. Alan Griffiths, in 'The Postal Stationery of Queensland' illustrates the sheet - minus the fourth row! - at page 30, and lists the
views at page 28. Across many years, we have sold several Queensland scenic postal card proofs, in the range of $2500 to $4000 each. All of them have been printed on card-stock. This is a completely different genus of proof. (Image1) (Image2)
