Short Description: This in-depth study covers all aspects of the first Transvaal one penny stamp: from the making of the printing plates to the details of the overprint settings used on the basic stamp and from different perforation to usage on cover. The study is divided over two richly illustrated volumes. A substantial part of the two volumes is dedicated to a complete description of all positions of the one penny printing plates. It is explained and illustrated how gradual wear and tear over time influenced the printing plates. For each position it is specified when identification features first occur and/or disappear. All surreptitious printings and fake stamps have been described in depth. For each issue of the genuine stamps details of the printing/s are provided including an extensively illustrated guide on correct identification. Information on rarity, largest known multiples and usage on cover is provided. The overprint settings used on the one penny stamps during the British Occupation are dealt with comprehensively and identification features of all settings/positions are illustrated.
