Description
Match Tax. 1871 ½d dull blue stamp, imperforate, printed by De La Rue but never put into use due to widespread protests against the Tax, o.g.; block of four, interpanneau piece with two blocks of twelve printed tête-bêche and an upper pane of twenty-four with Plate 33 above (rough margins). Also the Bryant & May “Chancellor's Matches” label (tatty edges) which incorporates two facsimiles of the DLR stamp in black, together with a single cut from the label, and the very interesting 1993 pamphlet ‘Ex Luce Lucellum’ by Dagnall
