We see many plate studies of the popular "Penny Red" issue of 1864, but very infrequently do we see the final plate (#225), printed in 1879. This is the second scarcest plate number, and it is a clear impression, with a light "59" killer cancel on a clean stamp with intact perforations - position "J-S". A terrific Victorian-era rarity. 2024 Scott US$875.00 =
