WWII Jersey German Occupation Stamp Collection - 1943 Blampied Views - Newsprint Varieties

Variety Study: This collection highlights the Newsprint Paper varieties (often identifiable by a grayer, more fibrous texture) for the 1d and 2 1/2d values, which were born out of wartime material shortages.

Historical Context: Printed locally at the Evening Post in St. Helier during the occupation.
