backs of stamps~stump the experts?

French Guyana/Guiana,
I noticed it being unusually thick paper,
and saw that it probably was two identical issues
doing a piggy back via gum attraction.
What attracted me was also the black line on the reverse.

On soaking the lower issue was blank.

Anyone have an idea how this could occur/why?

scan shows the two together to show the identical perfs.

Rodney,

I have no knowledge about French Guyana stamps, but my guess would be that
this issue was printed on various types of re-used paper. It is not a
proof, is it?

Regarding re-use of paper, the first Lativan issues are some of the more
fascinating: The first sets were printed on the backs of Germany WW-2
military maps (putting a sheet back together might be an interesting
puzzle game - if you can afford all the stamps), later you find prints on
regular blue-lined writing paper and ultra-thin cigarette paper....
Similar issues exist also from other countries.

Another possibility a that your stamps is a displaced printing along some
edge of the sheet.


Regards,

G'day Bjorn,
the "edge of sheet" supposition sounds practical,
the black line centre stamp by virtue of its similarity with
others of its ilk, would suggest a deeper meaning, hidden somewhere
amongst a printers history.
The mark appears to me, not to be just random, and not on the back
of the stamp, but to attached material, attached to the stamp.
curious indeed.
Best Regards,
Rodney

Hello,

This is a sheet border.

This stamp was printed in plates of 150 stamps,
in 3 panels of 50 separated by a stamp-sized
label with a line in the stamp color.

Look a this sample :

Bravo! Dominique Stéphan,
of course, well done.
Most winners deserve a good vintage Australian wine,
but not appropriate in this case
Thank you very much.
