jaxom - It occurs to me that the Perry 'text' for each position is really valuable information.
Unlike a lot of other plating exercises, with the 10c stamp, we have literally, a paragraph written by Perry, covering each position. Its really useful. If there is a way, to add another column, say to the database, for "Perry Notes", for each position, that when clicked on, brings up the paragraph about that position that Perry wrote, that would be really cool, and useful as well, I think. Just a suggestion of course, but for this stamp, I think it would help.
For example:
Quote:
No. 60 R: The position dot is a short oval located between the trifoliate and the edge
of the background with its lower end resting on or in the middle segment of the trifoliate.
The top frame line was entirely recut and is heavy especially toward the right end. The right
frame was partially recut and is very weak for 3 mm at its lower end. The bottom frame
is straight and even. The left frame line was recut and is fairly straight though somewhat
irregular. It is rather weak for 4 mm at its upper end. One scratch 6 mm long and more
or less continuous parallels the left frame about 1/3 mm outside commencing below a point
opposite the bottom of "U." Another scratch 2 mm long extends upward and slightly outward
from the left frame commencing about 6 1/2 mm above the lower left comer. The scratches
close to and outside the right frame opposite the right "X" are not parallel to the frame line
but extend inward and outward at angles and several of them meet and form "V" shaped points. Copies of No. 60 R showing the right margin are at once identified by these scratches, which, excepting only the very extensive scratches in the vertical valley between No. 44 R and No. 45 R, form the most noticeable cluster of such marks on the plate.
You should have a copy of the text from one of the pdfs on this, if not, let me know.
