Jamaica: The Vendryes Provisional
Third setting.
This setting gives every appearance of having been printed by Vendryes and Co. using the same
type and press as the other two settings. However, it is printed on a different shade of the basic 4d
stamp, it is known only unused and did not appear on the philatelic market until about 1921.
3 overprints in a single horizontal row, with 1.5mm between the lines of each overprint, struck twenty
times to cover each pane.
Block of 18, six strikes of the setting. Ex Swarbrick and
Baillie.
Third setting: shade.
The third setting is on a distinctly brighter shade of the 4d than earlier settings, suggesting that it was
printed on a later consignment.
Setting 3, Setting 2,
position 2. position 11,
for comparison.
