AR200
1924 KGV Admirals 3/- to £50, the complete set of die proofs of the frames for all eight duties. Struck in black on wove paper, and each with die numbers in manuscript above, and further endorsed 'Cancelled' in red ink and dated '19 / 1 / 40'. From the Waterlow archive day book with usual resultant faults. A UNIQUE group.
 
Note: Waterlow’s prepared two sets of die proofs. The so-called ‘clean’ set were placed in the proofs book and were kept in optimum conditions whereas the ‘dirty’ set were retained in the printshop and due to the less than ideal conditions there, are often affected by various stains and faults in addition to receiving various ink endorsements and instructions relating to the stamp production process.
