VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. AN INCALCULABLY RARE COMPLETE SHEET OF 100 OF THE 90-CENT 1869 PLATE PROOF ON INDIA.

The lower denominations of the 1869 Pictorial Issue were printed in sheets of 300 (two panes of 150). The four bicolor denominations were printed in sheets of 100, due to size and possibly to facilitate the pressman's job of aligning the paper for the second pass through the press. The largest recorded multiple of the issued stamp is a block of six. This proof sheet clearly shows the positions of the varieties, as well as the faint layout lines on the plate.

Ex Earl of Crawford and Kapiloff. Scott Retail as blocks of four. (Image)
