Short & Sweet



St. Rowlands School of Hinge Sticking
The answer to yesterday's stamp question:

Q: What part of the "Inverted Jenny" is upside-down? The frame or the vignette?

A: The central blue vignette. The red frame was printed first on the white paper, so that the sheets were turned around and incorrectly fed into the press for the second printing of the blue Jenny biplane.

Today's New Stamp Question

Q: Who was Jean Sperati?
