Sources & verification

Position identifies a distinct design in the original issued sheet. A specific subject-name transcription remains unverified.

Research notes: The original sheet and diary confirm four stamps of €0.59. SEPAC metadata erroneously says three; €2.36 is the whole-sheet total, not a stamp denomination.
