is the difference between
wood-engraved and typographed stamps. Typographed means set and printed
from type, so the United States officially sealed stamps of this variety
are printed with regular type, while the lithographed are printed from
stones, the designs being engraved, and thus fancy and very different
from the type-set stamp.

A new stamp paper will shortly be issued from Boston. It will have a
good financial backing, and it is expected to be one of the leading
publications in the philatelic line.

Since the last catalogue added the varieties of United States stamps on
ribbed paper, it has caused collectors to hunt for them, but probably
with little success, as they are very scarce. Ribbed paper is a variety
of wove, having lines running up or down or across, and showing on the
back of stamp.
