 Colombia - 1861 "Nueva Granada" 1p, including six items with two master negatives on film, the finer impression annotated as "pas terib." (not terrible), both with retouches and singularly in red and grey, two
negative glass clichés (a rare artifact in the Sperati archive) of which one with comments "pas choisi-fort trop fort"double pellicule- (not chosen-strong too strong-double film) and two trial exposures on photographic paper and designated a & b; a
unique lot including matrices which were the foundations for the development of the clichés. No clichés or trial exposures gathered in the postal Museum in Paris or the "Ultimate" collection); this lot proves, as the B.P.A. presumed (apparently no
matrices or clichés included in its collection), that Sperati reproduced Colombia before 1939, as one matrix was designated "Alpha", a type of celluloid from teh English brand "Ilford" which the artist used before WWII.(Image 1)

 Dominica, 1885-91, "One Shilling" value tablet, group of 11 items including the copper engraved plate, two proofs in black on transparent paper and eight proofs on white and cream paper. The copper plate, being
unique, is very significant, as very few such plates are recorded, regardless from the country, in the Sperati archives and collections; the plate also proves that Sperati, contrary to what it was thought before, also used the typography as
alternative to the photolithography.(Image 1)

 Dominican Republic - 1865 First Issue 1r, a sensational group 15 items with two negative matrices, both with accurate retouches in many small areas, which were used to create the impressive copper engraved
printing plate presented in this lot, seven die proofs on pelure paper including his two first attempts numbered "1" & "2" with the former showing a note reading "excés pression" as the pressure was too strong for the impression which indeed is
blurred, and five essays on medium wove paper with one being an experimented slightly and not uniformly coloured in green when trying to get the colour of the background. A lot of great significance as it demonstrates that, contrary to what was
previously thought, Sperati also used typography and not only lithography for his reproductions of this country, with the key elements being the matrices which were used to produce the engraved printing plate, and this demonstrating the typographic
method; unique and fascinating.(Image 1)

 France - 1849-1871, the astonishing assembly of 88 items comprising;
Ceres First Issue: 10c including eleven trial exposures on glass with static cancellations, also a tête-bêche pair in a proof signed by Sperati on front with his handstamp on back and numbered "245" (this proof, rarely presented in this sale, was the
commoner item prepared for collectors by the artist and not a working proof); 15c with two negative glass clichés, one dated "2/47 " "surexp" (overexposed to light) and designated as unused as the other, marked "b", shows a static cancellation (a
rare feature in the Sperati work), six further glass support clichés in vermilion, brown (shades, one with static cancellation) and black, with four having what appears to be consecutive dates 15/3, 16/3, 20/3 & 21/3; 1fr including four glass clichés
in vermilion (marked "1er" & "27"), orange, black and purple-black, two being negative, a celluloid cliché in vermilion with notations with tiny retouches in upper and lower tablets; a wonderful proof of the 1fr vermilion -designated "Vervelle" by
Sperati- on wove paper dated "2/3/49" (paradoxically 100 years after its issue), indicating in French at left that the ink used in the trial colour of Sperati's fingerprint below was applied on the first day, and at right, on the other fingerprint,
denoting a 'second day' (we presume that the chemicals reacted differently after one or two days under certain conditions of experimentation, and it may deduced that the colour of the stamp design was chosen after the fingerprints' trial); as well as
a proof in black on white wove paper with the reproduction hs and signed in pencil below made for collectors, a wonderful assembly.
Second Empire Issue: 1c glass support cliché in carmine and 25c negative glass support cliché in grey; 1fr with beautiful tête-bêche pair glass support cliché in a brown shade designated "4 - E.N." and with retouches around the heads, and additional
tête-bêche on cliché in dark vermilion on Pathé celluloid retouched around the heads on back and on front in the upper and lower tablets, also a rejected essay on paper in a wrong shade and a finished used reproduction signed.
Laureated Empire: 5fr ten glass clichés including one in negative, an impressive example with the design in pronounced relief (the only example we have seen in this collection), four in black with one showing the surround painted in light
transparent-grey to concentrate the light on the area of the stamp design, two in grey on white with one indicating the light exposure of 1 min 55 secs, and two in purple-carmine and brown (some showing the notation of the master negative "(b)" and
the Pathé film used indicating "+ contraste" and imperceptible filter), one trial exposure, two clichés on celluloid in vermilion shades, one dated February 1952, one essay on wove paper in the target colour writing in pencil that he used an Agfa
celluloid to create the contrast, as well as three final reproductions including two unused & one used.
Bordeaux Issues: 2c blocks of four including two negative clichés on glass, one dated 12/48 and produced using an Agfa film, three support clichés on glass (two in block of four and one in vertical pair), three celluloid clichés in blocks of four
with one featuring a very appealing composition with the upper pair in vermilion and the lower pair in black, two essays of the block of four on white wove paper in brown and black, as well as a final reproduction in block of four with "3219"
lozenge; 20c celluloid cliché in blue-grey, dated 10/50.
Postages due: 10c featuring a negative glass cliché and two glass support clichés in red and black, a celluloid cliché in black; 40c with one negative glass cliché with static cancel; 60c in a negative glass cliché and four glass support clichés in
yellow, turquoise, black and grey, one with "12/3".
Cancellations: nine glass clichés for various pmks, including five in negative, twenty one fragments with pmks showing notations and two small pieces with ink trials, notes and observations.
A remarkable collection of French classic philately, which surpasses all previously known numbers of clichés; in particular the 1 franc vermilion display is of the utmost importance.(Image 1)

laterally (cracked top not affecting stamp design) with notations and dated 4/45, the three other negative glass clichés: one in brown dated 12/49, one in turquoise-green dated the same (an unusual colour as Sperati preferred the red/vermilion or
black shades), one in red both with the surround painted out, 23 other glass support clichés, two in beige with painted out surrounds with notations, one labelled "Type A", one is backed with an additional piece of glass, the other with additional
glass front and back, in various shades of black, grey, red, brown and pale-green (this rarely utilised by Sperati), also five glass support clichés for various pmks (Bayreuth, Marktsteft, Kaufbeurn, Obernzell, one of which being a negative cliché,

 German States, Bavaria - 1849 First Issue 1k tête-bêche pair, the astonishing group of seven items, including one master glass negative formed by rejoining in the manner of tête-bêche two singles with same colour in dark
indigo-turquoise to contrast with the negative, with paint in black at top and base to retouch the final result, each numbered "C.VI" and supported on two additional glasses as reinforce and one being uncommonly thick; four glass support clichés in
black, red-brown, green-olive, and olive-ochre, one dated February 1942 and originating from a second negative, as well as two clichés on celluloid with one exhibiting albino impression (a most unusual feature in the Sperati archive), the other in
black-red with an annotated exposure to sunlight of one minute and 30 seconds and a 5,5% of a chemical substance (the figure for the temperature is not clear, but seems to be 24°, which would be uncommon in February as dated at top right). No
artifacts of this nature or others involved in the process before the finished reproduction or signed proof were included in the "Ultimate" collection of the Postal Museum in Paris.
The unique and most desirable group of one of the great classic rarity varieties of worldwide philately, with the added significance of including a key master negative precariously mounted to create the tête-bêche.
Note: In order to appreciate and understand the significance of this group, with only including elements from the process to create the finished reproduction, we would like to reference that the Musée de la Poste in Paris only possesses six matrices
or clichés for the whole German States. In addition, if we take into consideration the number of clichés and matrices from other German States included in this sale, the eloquent facts make this auction sale a true sensation. The B.P.A. could
document dates in 1941 and 1943, with this lot also introducing a date in 1942.(Image 1)
