JAMAICA 1968 (VARIETY) HUMAN RIGHTS YEAR SHEET NUMBER BLOCKS WITHDRAWN ISSUE
Human Rights Year sheet number blocks x 4, 14 x 14 perfs, multiple J and pineapple watermark, prepared but not officially issued. Very scarce multiples. Fresh and fine. Mint never hinged. SG272-274var; SC271-273var
Note: the original Human Rights Year designs by Jennifer Tombs went through the usual approval procedures – including the Jamaican postal administration – and were duly printed. It was not until the stamps reached Jamaica that objections were raised. New designs were commissioned locally and eventually issued 3 December 1968. Although not circulated in Jamaica, the original designs were distributed by the Crown Agents to wholesalers. Not all were returned
