August 1876, issue in blocks of four

After the termination of Mr. Mac Lachlan’s printing contract with the postal administration, another person took over this job. Unlike the 1875 and the preceding issues, the new stamps were printed in imperforate blocks of four on white thin paper (thickness about 0,07 mm) with very narrow spacing of 1 mm to 2 ½ mm between the stamps. Paper varieties such as laid and thick paper exist but they are rather scarce.  These stamps were printed by the same clichés utilised in printing of the previous stamps, thus the same cliché classifications apply here.
