1916 (7 May) 1s black on thin horizontally laid, typewritten (carbon), unused BLOCK OF EIGHT (4x2) from plate 4, being the two top rows of a sheet of 20 (4x5) with full margins, showing plate number '4' at upper left, error 'ISLANA' on pos. 2, and variety 'One (two) semi-colons for colons in left frame' on pos. 1 and 5. Slight horizontal creasing (mainly along top framelines of second row) and indentation of a paperclip at top of pos. 1, still very fine and fresh.
