10 CENTES.
FIRST ISSUE OF LOMBARDY VENETIA
Preface by Fabio Sottoriva

Study centred on the 10 centimes of the first issue of Lombardy Venetia in all its aspects analysed in details: design, typographical project and realization, printing (different quantity with respect to important scholars of the past such as Müller, De Frank, Provera and Huber, that is for hand-made paper a higher number, and for machine-made paper a lower number, more than 300.000 copies), paper, watermark, types and subtypes, list of places where the machine-made paper stamp was used, typographical characteristics, first printing, cliché wearing, printer's spaces, distance between the stamps, pin points, print on margins, types of set-off, coat of arms, sheet margins, St Andrew's crosses, colours (10 shades for the hand-made paper copies and 4 for the machine-made paper ones), use in the towns and districts, special rates and uses, items bearing peculiar franking, frauds, "forwarded", the rarest machine-made paper items, mixed franking, last dates of use, reprints. Then, the many recurrent defects of cliché: besides a rich iconography of the most visible and known defects, for some of them the different steps of deterioration in time are shown.
