Our October 27th-28th auction series<\/strong> will feature the second and final part of the \u00ab\u00a0Tatiana\u00a0\u00bb collection of Mauritius<\/a><\/strong>, which will offer 44 lots of the \u00ab\u00a0Dardenne\u00a0\u00bb issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0So-called, because the engraving of these 1d and 2d values was made by Louis Adolphe Dardenne in Port Louis, Mauritius. They were printed by lithographic stone, but it is unknown what the size of the stone was, and therefore so is the number of stamps printed on a sheet. It is thought that the printing stone consisted of two transfers of the intermediate stone, and that each printing may have consisted of 60 or 72 stamps. They were issued in December 1859, with 30,000 of the One Penny and 40,000 of the Two Pence in stock on 12 December 1859. They were issued imperforate, and printed on white or yellowish laid paper. A watermark is known, but of unknown design; part of it is found only rarely on individual stamps.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following is an extract from the supplement to the famous Kanai sale by David Feldman in 1993, written by Arnold Rudge, which details the varieties to be found on the 2d blue:<\/p>\n

The \u00ab\u00a0Retouched Neck\u00a0\u00bb variety in the Two Pence<\/span><\/p>\n

This variety, of which there are several types, is identified by the presence of a distinct evenly curved white line passing from the base of the chignon down the nape of the neck. In the so-called \u00a0\u00bb major\u00a0\u00bb or \u00a0\u00bb heavy\u00a0\u00bb retouched neck the line is as described, but in the so-called \u00a0\u00bb minor\u00a0\u00bb retouched neck variety the line is not so distinct, tends to be discontinuous, and does not form an evenly drawn curve as in the \u00a0\u00bb major\u00a0\u00bb retouch.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00a0\u00bb2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb||16px|||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb2_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb]

The \u00ab\u00a0Major\u00a0\u00bb retouch<\/h4>\nThere are two types of this variety, and are distinguished by reference to the following diagrams: An examination of a large number of catalogues and collections of Mauritius stamps, referred to elsewhere, identified the existence of ten examples of Type 1, and six of Type 2. In consequence they are rare. It is understood that there may be examples in the collection of Her Majesty the Queen. Among those identified, there exist an unsevered pair of each type which are vital to any plating study. One of these, of uncertain type because the cancellation obscures the key area of the stamp, was offered in the Kanai sale (lot 268), together with a single (lot 269). There was also a unique cover of major philatelic importance bearing a Type 2 (lot 267).[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Mauritius-Dardenne-2d-blue-showing-major-neck-retouch.jpg\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bbMauritius Dardenne 2d blue showing major neck retouch\u00a0\u00bb url=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/dfsa-auctions\/2020-autumn-auction-series\/mauritius-tatiana-part-2\/30245\/1859-dardenne-issue-sg-41-44-2d-blue-with-heavy-re\/\u00a0\u00bb url_new_window=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb||1px|||\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb13px\u00a0\u00bb text_line_height=\u00a0\u00bb1.5em\u00a0\u00bb]

The \u00ab\u00a0Minor\u00a0\u00bb retouch<\/h4>
This variety appears to be even scarcer than the \u00ab\u00a0major\u00a0\u00bb retouch, as only one pair (with both showing the retouch!) and four singles have been identified (Ed. Lot 30246 in the \u00ab\u00a0Tatiana\u00a0\u00bb sale is the second pair now recorded). A pair and one single were offered in the Kanai sale (lots 270 and 271). Comparison of this single with the left-hand stamp of the pair reveals features which confirm that these two stamps came from the same position on the plate. However, it cannot be established under what circumstances this retouching took place.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Mauritius-Dardenne-2d-blue-showing-minor-and-major-neck-retouches.jpg\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bbMauritius Dardenne 2d blue showing minor and major neck retouches\u00a0\u00bb url=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/dfsa-auctions\/2020-autumn-auction-series\/mauritius-tatiana-part-2\/30246\/1859-dardenne-issue-sg-41-44-2d-blue-pos67-68-hori\/\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb19px||0px|||\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb8px|||||\u00a0\u00bb hover_enabled=\u00a0\u00bb0″ url_new_window=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb sticky_enabled=\u00a0\u00bb0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb13px\u00a0\u00bb text_line_height=\u00a0\u00bb1.5em\u00a0\u00bb]

The \u00ab\u00a0Feather\u00a0\u00bb variety of the Two Pence <\/h4>\nSome expertising certificates for the Two Pence may refer to a \u00ab\u00a0slight retouch\u00a0\u00bb, and this often refers to the so-called \u00ab\u00a0retouch under TWO\u00a0\u00bb. This could be more accurately described as the \u00ab\u00a0feather\u00a0\u00bb variety, which occurs in the lower margin of the stamp below TWO and is usually joined to the outer frame of the stamp at this point. There are several identifiable types, some of which are clearly similar, and are found on more than one stamp. Kanai used these varieties as an aid to his plating study.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Mauritius-Dardenne-2d-blue-feather-flaw.jpg\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bbMauritius Dardenne 2d blue feather flaw\u00a0\u00bb url=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/dfsa-auctions\/2020-autumn-auction-series\/mauritius-tatiana-part-2\/30222\/1859-dardenne-issue-sg-41-44-2d-blue-position-5-un\/\u00a0\u00bb url_new_window=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb||1px|||\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb13px\u00a0\u00bb text_line_height=\u00a0\u00bb1.5em\u00a0\u00bb]

Cut transfer variety <\/h4>
This variety is found in both the One Penny and the Two Pence. It can be clearly identified by the appearance of the left lower margin of the stamps having been cut away from a point below the first foot in the \u00ab\u00a0W\u00a0\u00bb of TWO, and sloping upwards to include a small section of the base of the left-hand margin. It is suggested that this variety is from the base of a transfer (i.e. the lower row of the intermediate stone) and resulted from trimming the transfers prior to laying them down on the stone. Consequently, in a plating study, stamps showing this variety are probable indicators of a likely junction of the transfers.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Mauritius-Dardenne-2d-showing-cut-transfer.jpg\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bbMauritius Dardenne 2d showing cut transfer\u00a0\u00bb url=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/dfsa-auctions\/2020-autumn-auction-series\/mauritius-tatiana-part-2\/30225\/1859-dardenne-issue-sg-41-44-2d-blue-position-64-s\/\u00a0\u00bb url_new_window=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb||1px|||\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb13px\u00a0\u00bb text_line_height=\u00a0\u00bb1.5em\u00a0\u00bb]

Silica Vein flaws <\/h4>
Many Dardenne stamps of both values exhibit thin white lines, which are sometimes numerous, and usually vertical on the stamp. They are caused by imperfections on the lithographic stone, and many appear to be constant and consequently therefore potentially valuable aids to plating. There are numerous examples in this collection.<\/p>\n

Marginal Line flaw in the Two Pence <\/h4>

Ink clog flaws (acid spots) in the Two Pence <\/h4>
These flaws occur only in the Two Pence value. They consist of a blob of colour surrounded by a colourless ring. Various explanations for this flaw have been suggested, but for whatever reason for their development, it is likely that they occur only in the later printings. Consequently, they are not felt to be a reliable guide to plating.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Mauritius-Dardenne-showing-ink-clog-flaws.jpg\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bbMauritius Dardenne showing ink clog flaws\u00a0\u00bb url=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.davidfeldman.com\/dfsa-auctions\/2020-autumn-auction-series\/mauritius-tatiana-part-2\/30233\/1859-dardenne-issue-sg-41-44-2d-blue-positions-3-9\/\u00a0\u00bb url_new_window=\u00a0\u00bbon\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb||0px|||\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb text_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb13px\u00a0\u00bb text_line_height=\u00a0\u00bb1.5em\u00a0\u00bb]

Retouched Nose and redrawn Nostril <\/strong>
Both these features have been identified, but whether the retouched nose is a genuine retouch or simply damage at some stage of the printing process is open to doubt, so the potential value of these features as an aid to plating is unknown. Kanai felt that one stamp of a pair illustrated on page 124 of his book Classic Mauritius showed a slight retouch to the Queen’s nose.<\/p>\n\n

Shades<\/strong>
Kanai in Classic Mauritius classified the colours of the Dardenne issues as follows:<\/p>\n

One Penny: Blood red, Deep red, Red, Red vermilion, Vermilion, Dull vermilion<\/p>\n

Two Pence: Grey-blue, Slate blue, Light blue, Pale blue, Blue, Bright blue Deep blue<\/p>\n

In addition to the above colours, others have been identified by eminent Dardenne collectors, such as Rose-red (Castle), Copper-red and Red-brown (Burrus), and Bright-red (Hind).<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb]

Our June 30th-July 1st will feature the first part of the \"Tatiana\" collection of Mauritius, which will offer 37 lots of the \"Dardenne\" issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So-called, because the engraving of these 1d and 2d values was made by Louis Adolphe Dardenne in Port Louis, Mauritius. They were printed by lithographic stone, but it is unknown what the size of the stone was, and therefore so is the number of stamps printed on a sheet. It is thought that the printing stone consisted of two transfers of the intermediate stone, and that each printing may have consisted of 60 or 72 stamps. They were issued in December 1859, with 30,000 of the One Penny and 40,000 of the Two Pence in stock on 12 December 1859. They were issued imperforate, and printed on white or yellowish laid paper. A watermark is known, but of unknown design; part of it is found only rarely on individual stamps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is an extract from the supplement to the famous Kanai sale by David Feldman in 1993, written by Arnold Rudge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plating the Issue <\/strong>
In 1910 M. P. Castle wrote \" It will be seen that this lithographic issue affords good ground for philatelic research, and I shall be a grateful recipient of any information from my fellow students which may help us to elucidate what is practically the only unsolved problem in connection with the remarkable issues of stamps engraved, lithographed and printed in the Island of Mauritius \". The Dardenne issue still remains the only one of the Mauritius primitives which has resisted all efforts to reconstruct a plating. In the period of over 80 years since Castle wrote those words considerable effort by eminent philatelists such as M. P. Castle himself, as well as R. W. T. Lees-Jones, A. J. Stevens, A. F. Lichtenstein and H. Kanai among others, have sought, without success, a solution to this problem. Unfortunately, there are insufficient multiples of the One Penny in existence to achieve a plating of this value, but in the case of the Two Pence the information available from philatelic records shows there to be adequate material for a reconstructed plate to be assembled provided sufficient of it can be accumulated in one place. Stevens and Lees-Jones worked for years during the 1950's attempting to reconstruct a plating using mainly photographs taken from sale catalogues, but also some of their own original material (including Lot 268), which together amounted to 76 multiple items of the Two Pence value. They were unsuccessful because they were working from life-size photographs of poor quality which denied them the sight of the fine details of the stamps. They also worked without the knowledge of J. R. W. Purves' and G. N. Kellow's advances in interpreting lithographic printing. Kanai, in his book Classic Mauritius refers to Alfred Lichtenstein's attempt to reconstruct the sheet. He had assembled, on an unknown basis, 21 single Two Pence stamps in his efforts. This arrangement was broken up when his collection was sold. In a personal communication, Robson Lowe recalls that it was Mrs. Dale who attempted to reconstruct the sheet. Robson Lowe visited Mrs. Dale with his own part plating of the bottom right corner to compare a part plating of a top left corner owned by Mrs. Dale. They were unable to link the two or assemble a centre section. Robson Lowe believes that Hiroyuki Kanai purchased his part plating. Kanai, himself, refers to his own attempts at a reconstruction, and illustrates these on pages 121 and 122 of his book. He later included some additional pieces. Apart from two items which were from photographs, his final attempts at plating was an assemblage of 23 multiples of the Two Pence issue, together with the strips of three and four. 21 of these items were originally from the Dale and Lichtenstein sales, and one pair was previously owned by Alfred Caspary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \"Retouched Neck\" variety in the Two Pence<\/strong>
This variety, of which there are several types, is identified by the presence of a distinct evenly curved white line passing from the base of the chignon down the nape of the neck. In the so-called \" major\" or \" heavy\" retouched neck the line is as described, but in the so-called \" minor\" retouched neck variety the line is not so distinct, tends to be discontinuous, and does not form an evenly drawn curve as in the \" major\" retouch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \"Major\" retouch<\/strong>
There are two types of this variety, and are distinguished by reference to the following diagrams: An examination of a large number of catalogues and collections of Mauritius stamps, referred to elsewhere, identified the existence of ten examples of Type 1, and six of Type 2. In consequence they are rare. It is understood that there may be examples in the collection of Her Majesty the Queen. Among those identified, there exist an unsevered pair of each type which are vital to any plating study. One of these, of uncertain type because the cancellation obscures the key area of the stamp, is offered in this sale (Lot 268), together with a single (Lot 269). There is also a unique cover of major philatelic importance bearing a Type 2 (Lot 267). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \"Minor\" retouch<\/strong>
This variety appears to be even scarcer than the \"major\" retouch, as only one pair (with both showing the retouch !) and four singles have been identified. A pair and one single were offered in the Kanai sale (lots 270 and 271). Comparison of this single with the left-hand stamp of the pair reveals features which confirm that these two stamps came from the same position on the plate. However, it cannot be established under what circumstances this retouching took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \"Feather\" variety of the Two Pence <\/strong>
Some expertising certificates for the Two Pence may refer to a \"slight retouch\", and this often refers to the so-called \"retouch under TWO\". This could be more accurately described as the \"feather\" variety, which occurs in the lower margin of the stamp below TWO and is usually joined to the outer frame of the stamp at this point. There are several identifiable types, some of which are clearly similar, and are found on more than one stamp. Kanai used these varieties as an aid to his plating study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cut transfer variety <\/strong>
This variety is found in both the One Penny and the Two Pence. It can be clearly identified by the appearance of the left lower margin of the stamps having been cut away from a point below the first foot in the \"W\" of TWO, and sloping upwards to include a small section of the base of the left-hand margin. It is suggested that this variety is from the base of a transfer (i.e. the lower row of the intermediate stone) and resulted from trimming the transfers prior to laying them down on the stone. Consequently, in a plating study, stamps showing this variety are probable indicators of a likely junction of the transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silica Vein flaws <\/strong>
Many Dardenne stamps of both values exhibit thin white lines, which are sometimes numerous, and usually vertical on the stamp. They are caused by imperfections on the lithographic stone, and many appear to be constant and consequently therefore potentially valuable aids to plating. There are numerous examples in this collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ink clog flaws (acid spots) in the Two Pence <\/strong>
These flaws occur only in the Two Pence value. They consist of a blob of colour surrounded by a colourless ring. Various explanations for this flaw have been suggested, but for whatever reason for their development, it is likely that they occur only in the later printings. Consequently, they are not felt to be a reliable guide to plating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retouched Nose and redrawn Nostril <\/strong>
Both these features have been identified, but whether the retouched nose is a genuine retouch or simply damage at some stage of the printing process is open to doubt, so the potential value of these features as an aid to plating is unknown. Kanai felt that one stamp of a pair illustrated on page 124 of his book Classic Mauritius showed a slight retouch to the Queen's nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marginal Line flaw in the Two Pence <\/strong>
This major flaw extends vertically in the marginal space between three pairs of adjacent stamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shades<\/strong>
Kanai in Classic Mauritius classified the colours of the Dardenne issues as follows:
One Penny: Blood red, Deep red, Red, Red vermilion, Vermilion, Dull vermilion
Two Pence: Grey-blue, Slate blue, Light blue, Pale blue, Blue, Bright blue Deep blue
In addition to the above colours, others have been identified by eminent Dardenne collectors, such as Rose-red (Castle), Copper-red and Red-brown (Burrus), and Bright-red (Hind).<\/p>\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[627,624],"tags":[216,323,659,453,631],"class_list":["post-25363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-auction-highlights","category-digest_articles","tag-kanai","tag-mauritius-2","tag-mauritius-stamps","tag-primitives","tag-varieties"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMauritius "Dardenne" Issues and Varieties -
