TONGA epreuve chromalin proof 1989 cricket - WG Grace shown - best in 1800īs

This lot is a scarce CHROMALIN proof (the equivalent of some countriesī die proofs) from the Pacific Island of Tonga.

CHROMALIN PROOFS are on thick cardboard and in full colour, a proofing method used by Walsall Security Printers in which full color proofs are produced directly from the color separations prior to final production of the printing plates. Each color is layered on top of the next thus building up to the full color design. As only 3 or 4 were done, cromalin proofs are quite scarce and have been in the archival material until now. These proofs are lovely looking, very high quality, with a glazed finish. And as only 3 or 4 were done, chromalin proofs are the scarcest of all proofing methods done by Walsall Security Printers for Tonga.
