The gutter is a blank strip dividing sheets of too stamps and it is here that one of the two printed guides giving the colours used appears. The Post Office has decided against sheets of 50 stamps and thus "traffic lights" have become obsolete on the gutter pairs.

The first set was issued on the 30th March 1977, the second on the 26th January 1975 and the third on 24th January 1979. The two tapestries depicted in this year's set are among the finest in the collection. The 2c stamp show: ''The Institution of Corpus Domini" generally known as "La Disputa", painted by Rubens in 1609 for the Church of St. Paul. Antwerp. The composition of this splendid scene, which is vertical in the original, has been adopted horizontally so as to conform to the shape of the other tapestries.
