colors of the imprinted 10c design, the seven colors are: carmine, orange, vermilion, brown, purple, black and dark blue, each of the seven envelopes is quite fresh and bright, very fine; this immensely rare and gorgeous set took Mr. Ainsworth years
to assemble, and while each envelope essay is rare and could stand alone as an individual lot, we thought it best to offer it as a complete unit, as it is unlikely any other exists today. (Image) |
