Wiveliscombe Maltese Cross

Here's a very nice example of the Wiveliscombe Maltese Cross in black from August 1841.

The Wiveliscombe Maltese Cross features in Rockoff & Jackson where it is described as being prone to over-inking and having stray dots of ink as a result.  This example does not exhibit this behaviour but is earlier than the examples shown in the book.
