Stamp Security Devices ~ Burelage V Moire.

I thought maybe we could tap the Forum's collective knowledge, and expand on Collin's thread on the Bahamas Moire pattern.
Initially perhaps we can address the terms Moire (Moray) Burele and Burelage and see how countries have adapted some of the patterns to their stamps.
I'll kick the ball off with the 1895 Queensland halfpenny Queen Victoria where Robson Lowe refers to it as burele and Scott as Moire,
it was used in this case in printing stamps on unwatermarked paper.
Part of the information is taken from rcsd newsgroup with Jay and Blair as authors.

Moiré. This is a French term, meaning "watered", and used generally to describe the pattern of "watered silk". Philatelically it describes a similar pattern printed on paper, usually in color on the back of the stamp.

Robson Lowe describes the Queensland 1895 ½d as "blue burelé band at back". This security device was apparently used whenever it was necessary to print stamps on unwatermarked paper. Interestingly, Scott refers to this as "Moiré on Back".

Burelage (French: burelage)[1], also burelé, is a French term referring to an intricate network of fine lines, dots or other designs printed over or as the background of some postage or revenue stamps to prevent counterfeiting..(wiki)

Burelage:Russia

The burelage examples are great, rod. I've never scanned one at a large format/resolution.

Maybe slightly off-theme, Venezuela printed some stamps on a ridiculously-bold Winchester security paper that looks like tiny repeating light blue rainbows top to bottom, including margins (ridiculous for the time...pretty neat to see now). If no one has a scan to post, I can put one up in a couple days when I get back home.

[Just in case someone goes searching for the original moire thread, it was British Honduras.]

Thanks for the heads up Collin on Venezuela.
I've dredged these up.
You can faintly see the ITY of security on the red.

Yes, that's right Collin, British Honduras
not Bahamas.
Collin's thread stamp:

Once again, the Venezuelas are an example of a stamp/series I've never enlarged. They're interesting enough "in person" but the scans are fantastic.

Pretty quick on the trigger there, rod. Nice job.

The Venezuela stamps look like they are underwater.

Amazing perception there, Stamperdude
You know?.........your'e right on, they do indeed!
Never seen it that way before.

Burelage: Estonia

Burelage: Dominican Republic

Printed hyphen-holes with rouletting.

Serbia:

Rod thanks for showing us so many scans - I'm going to look over my collection to see if I have any.

Cheers Bruce,
If you collect Mexico...I'd almost guarantee you have one (that's a hint)

Yugoslavia:

rod you really would be alone without me. I am the only one on mostly when you post :)

Well thank you Supernova Surfer,
nice to have your company.
But how do you know? is there somewhere to tell who is logged on?
or does your nose twitch :)

And we all know London Bus would not be happy
without at least <one> Cinderella with Moire.
