11A Nice Impression Of 90l2l W/Engravers Slip

While still searching for a 98L3 I saw this little anomaly.

This stamp shows, I believe, an engravers slip. See the line connecting this stamp to the stamp below it. That and other traits, have me plating it as 90L2L.

Wow, these stamps were printed close together! No wonder you see such small borders!
Anyway, that is a beauty for a plater - I used to plate Netherland #1, 2 & 3 and loved to get my hands on such a clear variety!
Is there anything unusual about 98L3 or is it the last one you need for a complete plate?

It is a position from what is known as the "Three-Rows". These are the 8th, 9th and 10th vertical rows of plate three left pane. Here is an illustration from the Carroll Chase book.

This shows the extra frame lines that appear on some positions. Nineteen of the thirty stamps show extra or missing frame lines. For a beginner, that makes plating fairly easy.
I've completed the 9th row. I have 48-88 of the 8th row.

I agree with 90L2L.

Excellent. Labeled and tucked away.

For anyone that cares, I've done a quick and sloppy illustration. It shows what characteristics led me to the plating.

First is the inner frame lines. Combined with, it's not Orange Brown, means this stamp is an 11A. That narrows it down to plates, 1L, 2L, 3 and 5L. The rest can be found in the picture.

Here's what your stamp looks like with the image aligned to the right outer frame line and vertically compressed. The "wider gap" you annotated is the result of a distinct inward curve of the right inner frame line at the bottom.
