I see the ribbing in the paper now. You should wait to see if someone with more experience can give you a better answer. You can also search this forum for other posts pertaining to the laid paper variety. |

I have a certified example of the 1861 1c on vertically laid paper which I cannot locate at the moment. When I do I will return to this thread with illustrated comment.
I also have the 1861 3c on vertically laid paper, which might be used for comparison too, but I would rather work with the 1c so you can see the color shade of the printing.
One point to make here, however, is that laid lines in machine-made wove paper and the corrugations we call "ribbing" should not be thought of as the same thing. They originate by different processes. |

Not "ripped," dittrich, ribbed. But ribbed paper, which is a beast to photograph, is not laid paper, which is what the title of the thread asked about. #63 and #73 are noted for laid paper, but it is not easily seen even when you have one. I found my certified example, but I am still trying to get a good photo.
I see the corrugations on your #73 and they do not have the same characteristics as the laid lines in real laid paper. The actual lines are not corrugations at all, but more like a kind of watermark. Indeed, it is a matter of some mystery just how laid lines might appear on machine-made wove paper if it is not impressed by a Dandy roll as if it were a watermark.
I am still working on getting a picture for you. |

One of the characteristics of laid lines is that they are visible on the stamp without the use of watermark fluid. But weak lines are hard to see no matter what. That is how these lines are for the stamps series 1861.
