2095   ImageBaton Rouge La., 5c Green & Carmine, Criss-Cross Border (11X3). Large margins to in, deep rich colors, neat strike of circular datestamp

FINE. A RARE SOUND OFF-COVER EXAMPLE OF THE BATON ROUGE POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL WITH CRISS-CROSS BORDER.

Richard L. Calhoun believes that the Criss-Cross border setting was the first one used to print stamps, based on type characteristics of the four different settings. However, dated examples suggest that the 5c Criss-Cross border stamps came from a second printing circa November 1861.
