PRINTER'S PROOF OF OVERPRINT FRAME
FOURTH OVERPRINTING - FINAL STATE

Before starting the last overprinting in November, 1893, the printer made another proof of the overprint frame. If proofs were made of the second and third printings, they have not been discovered if any have survived. Only one overprint proof sheet has been discovered from the fourth overprinting and has since been separated. A photograph was made before the separation. On the image of this photograph, the rightward shift in the word "Provisional" in positions 47-49 is noticeable.
