Lot 40148 – 1876, 10r vermilion, vertical block of six, unused without gum

1876, 10r vermilion, vertical block of six, unused without gum, an extraordinary example as a result of its very early printing, clearly displaying the details of the design in a stamp which is known for predominantly worn-die impressions, as well as one of the most intense colours found in this value; small surface scuff in the head of Dom Pedro at top left, otherwise a magnificent and very scarce multiple; ex Dr. de Amaral Machado.
