Description
1892 2½d on 3d sheet of 240, divided into the four panes and displayed on four exhibition pages with write-up. Some creasing, separation and missing pieces of selvedge, with one block of four (from the lower right pane) missing but replaced. Includes the printer's quad variety but no missing stop after ‘d’; many minor varieties detailed. This sheet demonstrated that the setting was 240 rather than 120, as believed by Buckley and Marriott in the 1966 Handbook. The upper left pane is believed to be the only example of this pane left intact. SG 67, b, £5378
