Printing Method: Giori press printing

Color: Black and orange

This is a modification of the previous Statue of Liberty airmail stamp, #C58. It was issued to make printing on the Giori Press easier. The press had problems printing a gutter – which was not divided – between the design and the denomination of the stamp.
