GREEN 1

It can be seen that the true green stamps are scarce on cover, the oils being even scarcer. The
exhibitor has not yet seen a true green oil stamp on cover, nor the grey. The true blue stamps appear
to be found throughout the entire period, but scarcer than the greenish blues. The most prevalent
are the various greenish blue hues, but the bluish green is quite scarce, for the exhibitor’s collection.
Items purchased from vendors are frequently just identified as green stamps.
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ON REVENUE PAPERS FROM 1885

The accounting year is found as the top left corner, with below it, the record number for that
year for the Court system for Kishangarh State. If the papers have been used in a different
location the place can be found usually in the first row of text. Accounting charge can be found

in many places, sometimes along the top or the sides.
THE PRINTING METHOD

In the catalogue, it was suggested that this
issue of stamps was typographed; the
exhibitor has already suggested that 1 anna
vermilion (orange) issue was handstamped
on the basis of two clichés overlapping.
Large blocks do not exist to confirm the
suggestion in the catalogue The exhibitor has
several strips and one large block of the
greenish blue stamps, which are shown on
the next sheet
