Description
Newcastle United Colin Veitch, x 2 DIE-CUT ORIGINAL PROOFS / COLOUR TEST CARDS - you get the 2! Both are ORIGINALS. These are very rare items created during the process of manufacturing a fully-coloured card. These stayed in an archive of old images for over 100 years before they found their way to the light of day.
Dating from 1909, Colin Veitch Newcastle United hand-cut proofs, NOT cut by me! These were cut form a complete sheet by someone else. I would have kept the sheet uncut and intact but I had no part in the deal, neither in the purchase nor in the cutting up of said sheet.
These proofs are 112 years old. 100% Originals and you get BOTH proof Baines cards, an exceptionally rare chance to get such things.
So, you get 2 cards: the artist's "line drawing 'pass" (one of 4 passes needed to make this lithography into a printed card of line + 3 colours), and a "red-pass" test print too - see the back! Both proofs are non-Ltd types, so they are not from J Baines Ltd, rather from J Baines.
