$200.00 Red, Blue & Black, Second Issue, "Small Persian Rug" (R132). With selvage on two sides including imprint at right, rich colors, neat magenta 1872 manuscript cancel

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE AND DESIRABLE EXAMPLE OF THE $200.00 SMALL "PERSIAN RUG" ISSUE, WITH SELVAGE ON TWO SIDES AND SHOWING PART OF THE IMPRINT.

These were printed in sheets of one with selvage on all sides. Only one is known with the full imprint (offered in our 2000 Zoellner sale, realized $32,500 hammer). This is the only other with part imprint.

Ex Griswold ("Eastern" Collection). Illustrated in the Kinglsey book on p. 36.
