LotNo.	Symbol	Cat No.	Lot Description
1	E/P	66DP-73DP	½c to 20c Queen Victoria Leaf Set of Large Die Proofs, printed in colours similar to the issued stamps on India paper, sunk-in on eight cards measuring 149 x 227 mm (the ½c and 1c cards measure 101 x 177 mm). The proofs are numbered F-102 to F-109 and have the American Bank Note Co. Ottawa imprint below the stamp image. An impressive and remarkably rare complete set, with only 5 being offered in the 1990 ABN sale, and none known before that, apart from an incomplete set in the Dr. Lewis Reford Collection. A lovely and most desirable set, easily worth more than our estimate.

A very rare item, with only two other similar proofs known. Ex BNA essay and proof sale (Robson Lowe, 1963) and Thomas Douglas-McKee collection (2020).
