Dull Blue pos. [8] good margins all round showing framelines at left and right, with wider margin at top showing portion of double frameline. The 2d Sydney View was printed by a print-and-turn technique which created two impressions in tête-bêche format. Apart from the famous tête-bêche pair on cover, the only evidence of this mode of printing is in the form of stamps showing ‘double compartment lines’ at top or bottom, the additional line being the outer frameline of the adjoining impression. Only when the two impressions were close do such examples occur, and even so such stamps are rare. Very scarce |
