Lot 50080 – 1840 2d.blue, Pl.1, FK-GL, a magnificent marginal inscriptional

1840 2d blue pl.1 FK-GL, a magnificent marginal inscriptional block of four from the right of the sheet, showing “CE 2d. Per Label. 2/- Per Row of 12. £2…” in the margin, displaying superb rich colour and almost full original gum, creased through the top margin just touching the impression as is usual from multiples from the Dublin find, in no way detracting from the stunning appearance of this major line engraved rarity, with this being its first appearance in auction since it was last sold by Harmers of London in June 1941.
