1840 1d Black, Plate 1a (TA–TL) Complete Lower Row of Twelve on Large Format Legal Cover — Utmost Rarity
An exceptionally rare and striking entire, this cover from Glasgow to Edinburgh bears the complete lower row of twelve (TA–TL), each tied by red Maltese Cross cancellations. Margins are clear to very large except at the top of TA. Typical archive folds cross some stamps, with light creasing, but the cover remains in superb display condition.
The cover is backstamped with Glasgow 23 June 1840 dispatch and Edinburgh 24 June 1840 arrival markings, further enhancing its historical interest.
A marvellous and visually dramatic item, representing a complete bottom row on the cover of the utmost rarity, unmatched in its combination of scale, condition, and provenance.
Provenance: From the celebrated Seymour sale 5, 1952, lot 23.
