$1.00 Trans-Mississippi (Scott 292). Top left corner imprint and plate no. 606 block of ten with wide selvage, natural s.e. at right with part arrow, top center and four corner stamps lightly hinged, others Mint N.H., detailed impression on crisp paper, few perf separations at right sensibly reinforced VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER BLOCK OF TEN OF THE $1.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE, CONTAINING THE ENTIRE TOP TWO ROWS OF THE LEFT PANE OF THE PLATE. The $1.00 stamp issued for the Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition was based on an image of cattle in a storm from an engraving by C. O. Murray, a copy of which was loaned to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing by Mrs. C. B. Johnson. The engraving was used as a trademark by an American cattle company, but it was based on a painting by John A. MacWhirter entitled The Vanguard, which presumably depicts cattle in the West Highlands of Scotland (although MacWhirter did travel to the western United States in 1877). The Post Office Department was embarrassed to learn that the painting was the property of an Englishman, Lord Blythewood, who was sent a formal apology and die proof of the issued stamp through the British ambassador. The proof was donated to the Royal Philatelic Society by Lord Blythewood and hangs today on the walls of the Royal. Three complete panes of 50 are recorded (we believe they are still intact). Apart from those panes, since keeping computerized records we have offered a block of 20 containing the full plate block (Siegel 2013 Rarities Sale, lot 336), and only one plate block of six with reduced selvage at top, thins and repaired tear, ex Saddleback (Siegel Sale 935, lot 28). The Wampler, Kobacker and MLG collections contained plate blocks of four. With 1990 P.F. certificate. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Nov 2013, Sale 1056, Lot 334 |
