Europa 1997 issue

Abstract

This issue was printed in the four-colour process using the standard CMYK (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black) process colours for each value. The progressive sheets were printed in the following order: Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. Both stamps are of the vertical format. A Pane of ten stamps of each value, is divided into twelve spaces, three rows of four. In the first space, of the top row, of both values, are printed the following: "Hrejjefu Leggendi - Europa '97- Stories and Legends". The last part is a translation of the first part, which is in Maltese. In the second space of the top row, can be seen an antique 'doorknocker' (16c value) and an antique 'candlestick' (35c value). The value of the whole Pane of stamps is seen in the top margin, above the second and third spaces of the top row, printed in black. [excerpt]
