These just arrived yesterday and they are so knock-you-out gorgeous I just had to share the view.





Not all proofs have brilliant color like this, but when they do I find them nearly irresistible. I have long wanted a set of the 1861 issue this way, but since I don't actively collect the issue, I held back. These came along at less than catalog, and the waiting time was over.

I've been looking at the dull blue 219's, all day, hang on a sec... ... there ... now I can handle these 'colors that pop' right off the page. Congrats on getting that nice addition you've wanted, and such very striking images, at that. Thanks for sharing.

Wow now you have me slobbering all over my poor keyboard! I sold off most of mine awhile back but I think I'll start up again but with large die sunk proofs or maybe card & india ones like you show above. I also really enjoy the BEP's (and others) example sheets of their intricate line work and rose engine stuff..time will tell. Thank you for the giant smile this morning! Your Friend -Jeff
