[15c] Dark Blue, Vignette Only, Hybrid Die Proof on India (118-E1a). Mounted on India and die sunk on 70 x 71mm card, showing full die sinkage area, faint toned spots, small thin at bottom left from mount removal

VERY FINE. A RARE PROOF IMPRESSION OF THE 15-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL VIGNETTE.

This vignette proof shows the frame around the vignette, which indicates it was cut from a plate proof and mounted as a die proof. The border was entered on the plate, not on the die.

Ex Earl of Crawford and Finkelburg
