ONE OF THE FINEST 108 PARALE EXAMPLES KNOWN

1858 108 Parale blue on pink, an exceptional used example displaying a magnificent and balanced impression in deep blue, very large even margins on all sides, neatly tied to fragment by “GALATZ/6.9/MOLDOVA” cds in blue with part stright line “RECEPISSE” alongside, extremely fine and one of the most beautiful examples of this rarity in existence (apart from the exceptional margins, featuring an unusually strong impression); originating from the Kunzi collection, where exceptional quality in the “Bull’s Heads” was a must; fewer than ten examples are known with similar margins and quality (illustrated in the Heimbüchler census on page 384, no.7); signed G. Bolaffi and A. Diena (both “per esteso”), cert. Fulpius (1947) and Hunziker (1959).

Provenance: Caspary (1957), Christine Hassel (1959), Tomasini (1969) and Kunzi (David Feldman auction 2006, sold for €26’070 incl. buyer’s premium)
