Our first stamps were printed from plates of two hun-dred subjects each. Now our stamps are printed fromplates of four hundred subjects. Theoretically the design on the die can, via this proc-ess, be repeated on the plate in minutest detail and everysuch transfer will be an exact duplicate of the original.Actually this theory is a fact and the skill of transferringdesigns has become so advanced that, barring an accidentto the plate, the world's greatest experts are unable todetect any difference whatever between the four hundredsubjects of a modern plate. Every line, to the most minutescratch, that appears on the original die will appear oneach and every one of the designs on the multiple-subjectplate. Each design is an identical twin of the other, andall are identical to the die. |
