Image description

Certified plate proofs are the last printed proof of the plate before printing the stamps at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. These plate proofs are each unique and includes approval signatures and date. For postal scholars these plates provide important production information in the plate margin inscriptions, including guidelines, plate numbers, and the initials of the siderographer, or person who created the plate from a transfer roll. This is plate No. 606 of the 1898 commemorative issue, Western Cattle in a Storm, which has been called the most beautiful stamp of the United States.
