Description
The Carl Walske Collection of Sperati Newfoundland Reproductions ,Sperati reproduced all six denominations of the 1857/1860 issues.

They will be differentiated here by denomination only, not color and year.
Introduction
The following 29 lots of Newfoundland, by the master Jean de Sperati all are from the Carl Walske collection, many of them bought directly from the daughter of Sperati (these are unmarked on the reverse) and all were printed in small numbers. Most are listed in the 1955 British Philatelic Association publication, “The Work of Jean De Sperati” referenced as “Sperati I”, but some later discoveries are listed in “The Work of Jean de Sperati II”, including previously unlisted Forgeries by Robson Lowe and Carl Walske.
