BID WITH CONFIDENCE - SATISFACTION GUARANTEED NEWFOUNDLAND 91 1910 5c JOHN GUY ISSUE VIEW OF CUPIDS COLONY VF MPH CV$40 Five cent, ultramarine, "VIEW OF CUPIDS" stamp from the John Guy issue of 1910, lithographed, no watermark*, line perf. 14.2x12.0. Excellent color and crisp appearance, well centered. Approximately 40% of original gum disturbed by previous hinging, hinge remnant. Very good, fault-free example of this stamp. Stamp shown is a good representative of those that are available. If the stamp received fails to meet expectations, it may be returned for a replacement or full refund. Whitehead, Morris and Company Limited of London printed the 1910 Guy issue stamps using lithographic plates provided by MacDonald and Sons, Limited of London. MacDonald and Sons, made the final lithographic plate by using multiple paper transfers of each design from ETCHED dies. This may account in large part for the overall poor quality of the images seen in this issue. Stamps were printed on medium weight and relatively soft, white wove paper with horizontal mesh, white (almost colorless) gum. This issue was produced to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the establishment at Cupers Cove (Cupids) in Conception Bay in 1610 of the second (after Jamestown in 1607) British "Plantation" in North America. Sponsored by the London and Bristol Company of England The actual "planting" of the new colony was supervised by John Guy. * MONCKTON BASTED MILLS KENT or WHITEHEAD MORRIS & Co LTD LONDON SOUTH AFRICA & EGYPT watermarks have been reported on some proofs and stamps (re.
