A lovely item, attributed to Frank Davies Manley and almost certainly by him. [This proof was acquired by Arthur Gray with the unique die proof: see the next lot] In addition to being the Note Printing Branch's Chief Engraver between 1928 and late-1959, Manley was an active member of the Victorian Artists' Society and, View details Estimate$500Price Realized$400StatusSold SymbolPGradea+ Lot #477 DIE PROOF: 2d die proof in deep carmine on highly surfaced wove paper (114x75mm) BW #151DP(1) showing the outer dimensions of the die (75x64mm) with the printing instrument number "S 85B" crudely etched by hand onto the die at upper-right and 'S 85B' embossed at upper-left, endorsed "24/FM/30 4 34" by the designer/engraver Frank Manley at lower-right & endorsed on the reverse by Sir Harry Brown "Approved but please check heights of flag staffs, they look proportionately too high/HPB/4 5 34", a c View details Estimate$20,000Price Realized$24,000StatusSold SymbolPGradea Lot #478 PERF 10½: 2d 3d & 1/- tied to plain cover by 'VICTORIA MARKETS No 1/2JL34/MELB' cds BW #153y, very minor blemishes, unaddressed, Cat $750. Other FDCs of this era we have seen cancelled at Victoria Market are attractively hand-illustrated. We expect this cover is from the same source, indicating that the producer's method was to have the basic covers serviced, then later add his embellishments which, in this case, was not done.

If this is the correct shade, it is nothing like "terra cotta" (certainly far removed from the KGV Heads 1d terra cotta). Our assessment is that it is "pale vermilion". The ACSC states "This very distinctive shade is scarce & was probably caused by ink stripping". This block shows no evidence of ink stripping, or of a dry ink printing.
