Lot 50408 – Australia – 1913 Kangaroo £2, cliché on celluloid

Australia – 1913 Kangaroo £2, cliché on celluloid film of the frame in black set against a background of bright vermilion to provide clear contrast, dated “9/51”. Sperati used one single frame cliché for the two types of the £2 stamp that he produced. A visually stunning cliché of this popular high value stamp, the only stamp of the Australian Commonwealth reproduced by the master forger. Unique.
