Surface Printed: 1881 die II 16 dots One Penny - The Peter Young FRPSL, Collection: 1884/85(c.) so-called 'official' lithographic forgery 1d. sheet of nine (3 x 3, the lower row inverted), printed in singly fugitive purple ink on gummed unwatermarked paper (140 x 135mm), mounted at corners clear of the stamps which are mainly unmounted. Warrant 641 S/85 required De La Rue to send specimens of 1d., 2d., 10s. and £1 stamps for the opinion of the Board's Law Officers. It is thought the legal case involved illustrations for stamp albums. Lithographic plates of nine for the 1d. and 2d. were prepared, and plates of four for the 10s. and £1, three copies of each were submitted. The 1d. was printed in singly fugitive in more suitable for lithography rather than the conventional doubly fugitive ink. Photo.
