Good Morning,

Hoping to get an answer on stamps that I've seen like the image below.

The ink is generally missing around the stamp design - lettering, numbers, frame, etc.

Why exactly is it removed AROUND the lettering - generally follows the curves of the designs etc - and why NOT THROUGH the design?

Is this just simply under-inking?



Thanks!

Guess:
Dry Print.

Askphil : Dry print: stamp image or overprint deficient in ink.

No idea if this is pertinent to US philately.

It is a deficiencey of ink on the plate. You only see it around lettering etc. because the ink would naturally flow to the larger spaces, i.e the portrait. Once the ink got too low around the portrait, the printer operator would notice, re-ink the plate and destroy the imperfect sheets. Quite common in early 1900's.
