Lot 50640 – Uruguay – 1856 Diligencia issue 1r, cliché on celluloid

Uruguay – 1856 Diligencia issue 1r, cliché on celluloid with reversed image and in the bright vermilion that Sperati preferred as it furnished optimum contrast, with production written comments at base including « Tiré » as it was retained satisfactorand dating “5/45”. Sperati produced four separate types of this design for which he had a special affinity (the central logo of the stamp being used as the emblem for his “Philatelie d’Art” logo); an extremely rare example.
