Brooks" written in pencil at bottom, "C" security punch taped back in place (a normal practice), exceptionally attractive bright color, choice very fine; listed by Scott only on India, however it is quite likely that this Brooks proof was the basis for the listing; certainly a very rare proof and quite likely the only known example of this die proof in public hands; V.S.

1324 E 1016-E1 image#1016-E1, 3c Red Cross, large die essay on wove paper, die sunk on three-hole punched full size card measuring 203x152mm, a striking essay of this Red Cross commemorative from the Brooks collection, this proof shows the entire deep blue engraved design, without the red cross, which was typographed, Bureau handstamp on the reverse reading "Engraver's Stock Proof/Authorized by" and initialed, with "Brooks" written in pencil at bottom, "C" security punch placed where the cross would go and taped back in position (a normal practice), choice very fine; a striking essay of a very popular collecting subject; this is listed incorrectly by Scott as being on India and because they quote the control number we know that this is the precise item that is listed and photographed, however this most certainly is on wove paper; undoubtedly the only known example of this essay in public hands; V.S. McCloskey, designer; C.A. Brooks, vignette engraver; control number 103120B (1952); ex-Brooks. (Image) $3,500.00
