Another oddity of this stamp is that the name of the colony, Victoria, was not inscribed on it.

Wow! What a beautiful stamp. Sure wish I had one. Would be nice to see who else may have some and plate them like the penny black is being done.

Fascinating stamp, there are many varieties to that early issue and all are scarce. I have a collection of plate proofs & colour trials of other Australian colonial issues and hopefully find a few variations of the Queen on the throne.

Purchased this stamp just recently, would be interesting to find the Stateless Ham engraved version.

This Victoria Colony stamp, issued in 1852, is one of my favourites of all time. A guy named Thomas Ham was commissioned to engrave and print this stamp. Each stamp in the sheet of 50 is unique, as a combination of two letters was engraved on each stamp, identifying each position on the plate.
Another oddity of this stamp is that the name of the colony, Victoria, was not inscribed on it.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
