Title:
Empress Maria Theresia (1740-80) by Martin von Meytens
Description:
1908 PRINTING (Mi:AT 140v): The 1908 printing on chalk coated paper is generally much sharper and clearer. The ink did not absorb into the shiny coated paper. Therefore if you view the stamp under magnification the colour in the inked sections is darker, a bit uneven (as if in blobs), and a lighter coloured fine boarder line is visible around each inked section. 1913 PRINTING (Mi:AT 140x): The 1913 printing on regular paper is not so sharp and clear. The words "MA RIA THERESIA” to the left of the portrait are faint. The ink absorbed more easily into the regular paper used in 1913. Under magnification the inked sections are lighter (more grayish) and more evenly coloured throughout. When viewed with the unaided eye the 1913 printing looks a bit more bluish than the 1908 printing.
