1924 KGV Admiral issue. Complete set of DIE PROOFS of the frames of all eight denominations, 3/- to £50. Each struck in black on wove paper, and each showing the die number in manuscript above, each further endorsed ‘Cancelled’ in red manuscript and dated ‘19 / 1 / 40’. From the Waterlow archive day book with usual resultant faults. A unique group.
Note: Waterlow & Sons prepared two sets of die proofs. The so-called ‘clean’ set were placed in the proofs book and were kept in optimum conditions whereas the ‘dirty’ set were retained in the printshop and due to the less than ideal conditions there, are often affected by various stains and faults in addition to receiving various ink endorsements and instructions relating to the stamp production process.
