Jamaica: The Vendryes Provisional

First setting: misplaced and double overprint types.
Misplaced overprints occurred when the paper was wrongly positioned or shifted during printing.
Misplacement might be vertical, sideways or at a slant, shifting strikes onto neighbouring stamps.

Double overprints were nearly always corrections of a misplaced first strike. In the first setting the
corrective second strike is usually a repeat of the same position as the first strike, and is usually
heavy, with ink pressed into loops, similar in appearance to the first impressions in column 5.

Vertical misplacement of the column. Double overprints correcting vertical misplacement.
