Description
British Levant – 1909 issues with overprint, one copper plate developed for the “2 piastre 20 paras” overprint, an important new discovery of one of the few copper plates from the archive, which proves that the master forger, besides his standard process of photolithography, also experimented with engraved copper plates to make the reproductions more convincing.
