New Zealand 1864

Quote:
On a visit to New Zealand in 1906, LR Hausburg arranged for official reprints to be made of the Chalon heads. This was for the Royal Philatelic Society in London who were said to be planning a book on the Chalons. However, no book was ever produced.

1000 sheets were produced of the 2d plate II while six sheets each were produced of the other values. In August 1906, six sheets were produced of the 2d plate I. All were on white card. At the same time, the Government Printer printed 20 sheets from each plate on wove paper and these were kept by the Postal Department.
