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)

Magnificent. BPA Certificate (1964) states "original gum" but doesn't mention the Two Leaves variety, despite it being listed in the Gibbons catalogues of the period.
Fabulous provenance: Ex Maurice Burrus, Lars Amundsen, Dr Mario Tomasini, 'Besancon' Part III (sold in 2018 for SFr12,100) and 'Dubois' Part I: sold in 2022 for SFr9150.
We are not persuaded that the paper is 'bluish'. Despite the printing shade being not as deep as SG 44, there is nothing 'bluish' about the paper. If we are correct and this is SG 44, the catalogue value is £10,000+ for normal unused singles, plus a significant premium for the unpriced variety. (Image1)
