Description
1841 2d blue pl.4 HC, large balanced margins all around, neatly cancelled by a very fine strike of the black Maltese cross; a fine and most attractive example of this very rare and late usage, cert. RPS (2011) which states tear at lower right (which is minute and confined to the margin).
Note: Plate 4 wasn’t printed until December 1849 and the Maltese cross was changed to the numeral cancellation in April/May 1844, some five and a half years previous.
