Two panes of 120 stamps each were printed at a time. Each pane was  divided into two blocks (see below). One block consisted of 4 columns and 20 rows of stamps. Half the stamps were printed upright and the other half upside down (<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id376_tete_beche.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="GBimpraturs"><U>tête-bêche</U></A></FONT>). The second block was made up of two columns of 20 rows of stamps. Figure one below illustrates the layout.
