Stamps intended
for interior use only. Engraved in Manila in plates of 40 subjects (5 x
8), producing 40 different types. Paper used for the First Issue extremely
brittle. Flaws expected on blocks. However, these flaws are generally tears
rather than thinning. Oxidation expected because of the quality of the
ink used and the conditions that the stamps have been exposed to.
Only one plate used for 5 Cuartos but underwent several re-touching and re-engraving during printing. |
