1853/1865: Study of over one thousand used and unused "Columbus heads" with all issues, including nine "Henri Gillet" lithography prints, and most shades represented, often sourced as individual purchases, often at auction. The study compises stamps on pieces, blocks of four and postally used strips of five, eight postally used examples of the 1c lemon and forty-four examples of the 20c green, including a fiscally used block of eight. There is also an impressive range postmarks including a stunning strike "LINARES" in red on a pair of 10c "ESTANCOS".  Included in the total there are one-hundred-forty reprints of various origins. Finally there are five pages "PERFORADOS" including four copies 20c green unused. The quality is well above average, with many choice copies.
