Lot 50582 – Romania – 1871-72 King Carol 10ba, cliché on celluloid

Romania – 1871-72 King Carol 10ba, cliché on celluloid in black with reversed image, dated “7/42” and with interesting production notations “22° x 5% x 30’”, indicating a light exposure at 20 degrees for 30 seconds (unusually short for a Sperati manufacture) and with 5% of a chemical substance well known to the producer. An exceptionally rare, fascinating and articulate cliché.
