Philately Bulgaria - New Generation

69-71 are printed with two types of photo clichés for each value, located in the printed form of the postal sheet without a specific sequence. Type II stamps for the corresponding values ​​have the following features: 5 stotinki - there are interruptions in the vertical lines of "T" and "N" of "stotinki"; 10 stotinki - there is a small dot in the stotinkaer of the letter "O" of "stotinki" and the outer frame under the ornament, which is to the left of "stotinki", is interrupted; 25 stotinki - there is a small arc under the letters "СТ" of "stotinki" and the inner frame under the letters "NK" of "stotinki" is also interrupted. In types I and for all three values, the images lack the specified features. Type II of all values ​​are rarer, approximately 1:3. All three values ​​are available in lighter or darker shades, as well as without perforation, without perforation on one side, without perforation on two opposite sides, pairs between them without perforation. Since the image sizes of the 10 stotinka stamps are smaller, the background color goes beyond the image. There is information that all three values ​​exist without a background. Of all three values, there are known imperforate on one side, imperforate on two opposite sides, pairs (both horizontal and vertical) between imperforate and completely imperforate specimens. Due to the unusually large dimensions of the printed sheets, some of the elements of the drawing on the stamps from the final vertical rows are unclear. The printed sheets measure 670x410 mm and are the largest of the postage stamps issued in the period. Today, no entire sheets of 69-71 are known to have survived. The celebrations on the occasion of the accession of Prince Ferdinand I were to be held on the anniversary date of August 2, 1907 in Veliko Tarnovo. Due to the typhus epidemic that had appeared in the city, they were postponed and held on August 15 in Sofia, and the anniversary stamps were put into use at that time. On August 23 of that year, in the presence of the prince, the first Bulgarian destroyers were launched in Varna. It is likely that the portrait of the prince in naval uniform was included in the plot of the stamps on the occasion of this event.
