7¢ Bistre 2L69

"Doubling inside the frame opposite G and of the oval band below GE and inside right centre, with a guide dot close to the left side of the portrait"

Leo's Notes

 Re-entry (in Marler)

  • Doubling in right inner oval from right side of G to right side of E.
  • Doubling inside the right frame opposite the right edge of the G and the left side of the E.
  • Slight doubling in the left side of the bottom of the C.
Notch below the E.
  • Large separation between doubling and notch. One horizontal line from just to right of centre to the right border. One strong vertical line just to the right of centre.
  • Small guide dot on the right side of the left inner oval.
Re-entry in Zone 20
Plate Position: 2L69
Listed in Marler
Format ~ Sheet
Notch Type: RBR

On page 374, Marler states: "In 19 Subjects of Plates 1 and 2 there is in the white band around the portrait oval, either below E or at right center, either a single line or a group of lines. Whether this is a consequence of a re-entry or not, the author cannot say, but he considers them not to be of sufficient importance to warrant describing them, particularly as many of them are much the same in their general appearance."

In an article to be published in a future issue of "The Admiral's Log", Leopold Beaudet and I suggest that these "Notch" varieties are actually quite interesting. We have found over 40 different instances and many plate positions have been determined using the plate proofs at Library and Archives Canada.

The system processes page views, clicks, form submissions without form contents, referrers, browser/device information, error pages, approximate visit duration, and pseudonymous visitor keys. Full IP addresses are not stored permanently by Statser; they are processed briefly on the server to create a pseudonymous visitor key, apply technical exclusions, and optionally resolve approximate GeoIP information. If GeoIP is enabled, the IP address is checked locally against a MaxMind GeoLite2 database to determine the approximate country or city. The visitor IP address is not sent to MaxMind. MaxMind is contacted only to download and update the GeoLite2 database. Detailed data is deleted after the configured detail retention period. For long-term trends, Statser also stores aggregated daily values without individual visitor profiles.
