Can anyone help?
Maury lists a variety of the 15 c Ceres small figures - Maury #59e -
as having 'retouche cadre inferieur droit' - translates to retouched frame lower right. However no illustration or image is offered as comparison to the original
Does anybody have such a illustration in their catalogs - maybe in Yvert special - or any other reference?

Thanks a lot for helping
Jon

Absolutely brilliant perf12 - just was I hoping for! Your image saved in my variety-info-file .

Funny - I was googling for the retouched frame variety yesterday, and while doing that , I actually came across the second variety your post - said to be called the 'Chevassu retouch' on a french stamp forum. (I believe it is the same variety anyway!) That variety is not listed in my Maury - but now it is in my inventory database and variety-info-file non the less.

Here is a bit better image of that variety if you like for your reference.


Thank you again perf12

While looking for the retouched frame variety - I found this - doubling of the bottom frame all along the lower end....
Anybody seen something similar on Ceres?

If you were wondering, Yvert Specialized (1975) has a general note that there are a lot of varieties for the issue (gee, thanks?). But it does have 6 pages of drawings of 25c varieties, listed by type and plate number, priced. So perhaps you want to find plating studies if you want to take things further.

thanks for your input hy-brasil Something to consider. No doubt there are a lot of varieties for these stamps, seems like every single stamp has its own feature when studying them in detail.


Personally I don't have time or sufficient patience for detailed plating studies , however I enjoy to identify the more obvious/spectacular varieties or errors. So I have put aside a lot of Napoleons and Ceres stamps where "something is going on" - keeping them for later studies - just in case I should happen to get the Yvert specialised some fine day.
