Lot 80017 – Brazil – 1843, Bull’s Eyes 60r, twelve production items and five cancellation trials on paper

Brazil – 1843, Bull’s Eyes 60r, twelve production items and five cancellation trials on paper; the production items include one glass support cliché with mirror image, three exposure trials on celluloid paper, one painted red-brown around the design, and one with dating Oct 1942 and comprehensive production notations that probably indicate a satisfactory result to make the final reproductions, also a set of impressions on paper, one dated Aug 1941 and one with fine red strike of CORREIO GERALDACORTE 14/9 1844. The cancellations comprise red UICTORIA on paper, black CORREIO GERALDACORTE, and working proofs of red PELOTAS and MACEIO with abundant annotations dated Dec 1943; a very fine range of stamp impressions and accompanying pms that merits further study, of the highest rarity with very few items in the “Ultimate” collection and no clichés and matrices with B.P.A. or the Musée de la Poste of Paris. This lot comes with Sperati’s black cardboard box labelled “Bresil”.
