1871 10b issue, two glass clichés in black and vermilion, both with mirror image and production notes at base, noting chemicals used and exposure duration, and one impression on celluloid dated Mar 1941, also a range of Galatz, Jassy, and Bakeu postmarks used for the early Romanian issues, on paper, celluloid and glass clichés; an important and impressive range of production materials with clippings from an auction catalogue, from which Sperati appears to have sourced his pm designs.A very important range of clichés and the accompanying cancellations; no clichés were known to the B.P.A. or the Musée de la Poste of Paris, and nothing but finished reproductions are found in the “Ultimate” collection.
