1858 Bull's Head 40 parale blue on thin white paper, a magnificent full sheet of thirty-two subjects (4×8), of excellent fresh colour, showing the two central horizontal rows vertically tête-bêche (eight pairs), some tone spots as is prevalent in nearly all the intact sheets from the iron in the paper utilised, large margins all round, two stamps with the usual faults for this thin-paper issue, otherwise very fine, large part og., mostly unmounted og, with the stamps in the corners hinged. Exceedingly rare, seldom offered. Michel catalogue value for HINGED singles and tête-bêche pairs is €11,200 , so for never hinged should be at least double, without any coefficient for large blocks (est. €22,400++).
