Pristine unmounted mint with full original gum right hand marginal block of four printed at Somerset House.
Very scarce and quite spectacular to find in such exquisite condition.
A stunning exhibition quality example of the famous King Edward VII “Long One Pound” stamp and the best example in a block of four I have ever handled
This most distinctive and memorable stamp design caused controversy at the time because of its unusual shape and size. It is now argued by some as being the most attractive definitive stamp issue of King Edward VII’s short reign.
