Description
Summary Jurisdiction: 1882 (21 Feb) De La Rue 24c plate proof in black on wove paper, with blank value tablets, from the upper left corner of the sheet, endorsed 'Spec' with date and initials at upper left in red ms. A most unusual proof, almost certainly taken in connection with De La Rue's preparation of the Waterlow plates after the transfer of the contract. A few tiny thins from previous mounting, still a unique and fascinating item, Ex De La Rue Archives and Illustrated in 'The De La Rue Collection' (Vol. II Page 2356)
