No body has a comment on this cover so here's my 2 cents worth:
Excess ink transfer from one cover to the next when they were stacked together, notice that the right-handed carver
becomes left-handed and the lady, likewise goes from left-handed to right-handed, similar situation like we have on
flat press printed stamps but more pronounce, does it make sense?
Tony,
exactly right
I'm thinking that the image is too perfect to just be transfer in a stack of envelopes.
My thought was that on the revolution prior to this cover, there was no envelope and the press printed on the bottom roller. Then comes this cover onto the wet ink roller and got a perfect reverse image.
Anyway, I thought it was cool and wanted to share it.
In all my collecting years and sorting thousands of covers I've never seen this before!
Seems the printing press gave a perfect reverse image on the back of the cover.
It's a keeper, right into my collection!
