|  | Here are a collection of close-up images of the top left corner of the  stamps from varied sources. They were taken at the same time, same  position, same lighting and same camera settings. Apart from resizing  for comparability there has been no manipulation of the images. It seems that the use of the camera accentuates the colour differences between  the stamps, but these images can be used to compare the resolution and  high detail print patterns of the different stamps.

 Some observations are immediately apparent.The Pre-Bath print is a lower resolution than the Wincanton perfed stamp. It is known that during their lifetime attempts were made to improve  quality, so the Wincanton stamp may be from a later batch. I need a Bath perforated stamp in order to draw further conclusions regarding the earlier prints.
 The Enschede stamp and that from one first  Pseudopolis cover are clearly the same print. The slight colour  difference will be due to the white envelope as a background. These are so crisp you can see the detail of the cabbage hearts (just).
 The  stamp from the second Pseudopolis cover bears a great similarity to the  Wincanton, but it is not quite as good a print, and is definitely a  paler print. Again the background (a brown envelope) may have affected  the colour the Pseudopolis cover stamp, but by eye there is a slight  difference in hue between the two stamps.
 The stamp from the third  Pseudopolis cover has the lowest resolution of all, and is clearly from a different printing. The apple-green colour does reflect the colour  shade of the stamp. This stamp has perhaps the highest contrast between  light and dark of all the printings; the background the the value text  is particularly intense.
 
 From this and the other observations I feel I can compile the DWS Completist’s Checklist of stamps.
