CENTENARY STAMP
ISSUE PRINTED BY NEW PROCESS There are interesting features about the issue of a new Australian postage stamp struck to commemorate the centenary of Victoria. The series is of three values—-2d, 3d, and Is, and was issued on July 2. An entirely new method of print-, ing the stamp was employed for the
issue, dry paper and quick-drying ink being used in place of the usual recess or intaglio method. The stamp was printed on the new rotary banknote press which was recently installed in Melbourne. The design shows a native of the extinct Yarra Yarra tribe standing on the bank of the Yarra river and looking across at the sky-line of Melbourne.
