Genuine

Epargne. Perf. 13. Watermark, V. and crown. It is impossible to give all the minute differences between the genuine and the forgery. The neck of the Queen is shaded
all over. There is a neat coil of plaits at the back of the head.

Forged

Lithograph. Perf. 13 (very small, and far apart). No watermark. Whole of design very poor and coarse. A large portion of the neck unshaded. The hair at the back gathered into a loose shapeless lump. Twentyfive in sheet, 5 X 5.
