Issue II. June, 1879.

_One value._ Designed and printed by the American Bank Note Co., of New

York, upon thick white card. Size, 5¹⁄₁₀ × 3³⁄₂₀ inches. At the top

of the card is the inscription in three lines: 1st, _Universal Postal

Union_ in coloured fancy letters, the word _Universal_ being curved, with

ornamental lines above and below; 2nd, “NEWFOUNDLAND. TERRE-NEUVE,”

in coloured slanting block letters; 3rd, “POST CARD,” in white fancy

capitals on a coloured ornamental label, the ground of which is filled in

with horizontal lines. Lower down three ruled lines for the address, each

one of which is slightly longer than the one above it. The stamp, which

is similar in type to the Three Cents adhesive (issue July, 1870), but

with the value changed to Two Cents, is in the right-upper corner. The

design of the cards is completed by a fancy border, with large ornaments

at the four corners. Size, 4⁹⁄₁₀ × 2⁹⁄₁₀ inches. Outside the border, at

the bottom of the card, and in the centre, is the name of the makers in

small coloured Roman capitals. (_Illustration 83._)
