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, Finkelburg and Price
