EXTREMELY FINE GEM. ONE OF THE FINEST UNUSED EXAMPLES OF THE 5-CENTAVOS LITHOGRAPH WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED, POSSESSING AN EXTRAORDINARY DEPTH OF COLOR AND IMPRESSION FOR A LITHOGRAPHED ISSUE.

Looking at this stamp, it is easy to understand how Gillet was able to use lithography without anyone noticing. The government objected to the use of lithography and never authorized it, but the stamps were so expertly printed, apparently no one noticed until nearly fifty years later when stamp collectors identified the lithographed stamps.
