FINE-VERY FINE BLOCK OF 20 OF THE $1.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE, CONTAINING A PLATE BLOCK OF SIX. A SPECTACULAR 19TH CENTURY COMMEMORATIVE EXHIBITION PIECE.

The $1.00 stamp issued for the Trans-Mississippi Exposition was based on an image of cattle in a storm in an engraving by C. O. Murray, a copy of which was loaned to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing by Mrs. C. B. Johnson. The engraving was used as a trademark by an American cattle company, but the image originated in an oil painting by J. A. MacWhirter entitled "The Vanguard", which depicts cattle in the West Highlands of Scotland. The Post Office Department was embarrassed when the painting was identified as the property of the Lord Blyworth, who was sent a formal apology and philatelic memento through the British Ambassador. The memento, a proof item, was donated to the Royal Philatelic Society by Lord Blysworth and hangs today on the walls of the Royal.

Three complete panes of 50 are recorded (we believe they are still intact). Apart from those panes, this is likely the next-largest multiple. Last offered in our 1983 Rarities sale, when the Scott Catalogue value was almost exactly the same. Scott Retail as plate block of six and singles (Image)
