Telegraphs. Stamp-size artist's essay for the vignette of the 1871 Electric Telegraphs issue, executed in pen and ink on thick card (89 x 64mm), with M/S endorsement "The original sketch & etching on copper" [latter not present] at foot. Some tone spotting, nevertheless a wonderful artifact from this fascinating and short-lived issue. A unique and highly important showpiece, with signed note from the designer, Henry T Glover, confirming authenticity. Illustrated and described in "The Postage Stamps of New South Wales" (p.379) by Basset Hull (confirming that the tone spotting was already present in 1911!).
