Victoria 25c Portrait Variety Sub-Variations

Are you referring to the different obverse types?

This is a good comparison tool:

Pictures out of the back of the 2008 catalogue about variations within the same portrait. Lots of photos, but not a lot of written descriptions! Is there a written guide somewhere to accompany these? Because I can't figure it out.





And for the reverses: I can see slight differences branch going up to Leaf 11 in the LBE Reverses 1 & 2 vs Reverses 3 & 4 & 5, but other than that, everything else looks identical (so I cannot narrow it down to a single variety).




Mods, I had the images oriented upright on my phone and on my computer. How do I rotate on the forum? I remember being able to do that on the optimizer.

Oof, I'll try again later. If I have the time today, I'll overwrite these files once I get home.

You are using Safari on a Mac. I am using Firefox on Windows. If Altaira is photographing with an iPhone, this might be some proprietary Apple humbug.

Now your photo is sideways.
Strange things are happening!

Correction:
Altaira is a female.

I am NOT looking for differences between the five major portrait varieties! There are more than enough resources for that. I'm looking for a way to identify the sub-variations, which exist within each major obverse type/portrait itself, that are being referred to in this book. And by extension, the reverse sub-types too. I have checked other Charlton catalogues (including 2026), and as far as I'm aware, 2008 is the only edition to go in-depth with the obverse and reverse sub-varieties. (And date positioning, but that is difficult to measure.)

Correct jbuck, Apple indeed. I've tried rotating the pictures on a Windows PC but no luck. They still show up sideways on the forum.

Okay, I will need to do some testing. Perhaps the new optimization code is to blame.
