1918: Bradbury Wilkinson Imperforate Proofs of the ¼ a on 5 pa,
dull purple, ½ a. on 10 pa. green, 3 a. on 1½ pi. grey & rose, 6 a.
on 2 pi. black & green (Surcharge 32 mm.), 8 a. on 2½ pi. green &
orange (Surcharge 30 mm.), 12 a. on 5 pi. deep lilac, 1 r. on 10
pi. brown (Toughra Type A), 2 r. on 25 pi. yellow-green, 5 r. on 50
pi. rose (Surcharge 32 mm.), 10 r. on 100 r. indigo (Surcharge Type
I); all ten values printed on white wove paper and showing at least
one, and often two, portions of the adjoining stamp horizontally.
An exceptional group of immense rarity. Signed Todd AIEP. Note: The
Harry Hibbert sale (Harmers, London, 10-11 March 1987, lot 852) had
a 4 a. value but no 12 a. or 10 r. and most examples showed some
creasing. The examples offered here are all pristine and in superb
quality
