#24F4. A very crude forgery. Most of the
stalked pearls in the side frames touch the inner or outer curved lines
of the frame. The zigzag lines inside the side frames with curved ends
instead of pointed ends. There star ornaments at the stamp corners are
poorly drawn and do not have shading lines.
The eyelid
of Isabella is just a straight line. The lock of hair and ribbon of different
form. The inside oval frame around Isabella's head is missing. On the genuine
stamp the neck of Isabella has an almost pointed left end. On the forgery
it is at a 55 degree angle.
All the letters
are thinner. There are no stops before "CORREOS" and after "CENT". The
stop between "25" and "CENTS" is a comma. |
