Europe and Overseas,Olympic Philately and Memorabilia - Day 2

Group of the "undocumented" essays, incl. three 2 par essays with bull's head in the centre of a star on envelope corner pieces, and three with a rampant lion in the centre in a rectangular frame on gummed paper, each with embossed design in matching blue, yellow and reddish mauve, very fine and rare essays.

Note: Although their origin remains undocumented, these essays have been considered to belong to the 1865 Prince Cuza issue for a very long time. They were mentioned in P. Murea's 1938 philatelic work "Istoricul timbrelor postale românesti 1858-1938".
