Envelope lining 3

This example of an envelope lining is somewhat different from the previous examples; Its pattern does not appear to be composed of wiggly lines, but rather of a form of repeat pattern:


Another unusual thing is that the paper appears to be printed from letterpress ( i.e from a process analogous to using a stamp) , as opposed to lithography or offset ( as in the previous envelopes). We may see below the characteristic blobby effect of letterpress, known as "ink squash" ( particularly evident towards the bottom ends of the shapes)
