Genuine and Forgery |
 
Gooding #17F3. Letters in upper tablet taller. On the lower tablet they are smaller and thicker. Again the stop after "INTERIOR" is missing. The side panels wider. Like the other previous forgeries the shading above and under the circle is just diagonal lines and not the fish scale pattern found on the genuine stamp. The hair form is different and there are only two rows instead of 3 of leaf applique ornaments on Isabella's hair. Isabella also without lips. Bartels #C20.3; Earee - Fourth Forgery (Page 214) |

Gooding
#17F5
Except for the color which is the shade of blue gray instead of blue, this is a very good forgery. Very slight difference on the letters and this one with the stop after "INTERIOR", which is missing in most forgeries. The line shading above and below the circle also done in fish scale pattern, like on the genuine stamp. |
