Canada #1124var 42c Multicoloured Saint-Ours, 1987 CAPEX'87 Issue, 2 VFNH Singles With Significant Shifts Of Colour

2 VFNH singles of the 42c multicoloured Saint-Ours from the 1987 CAPEX'87 Issue with significant shifts of colour. Insignificant misregistrations between the black engraving and the color on the buildings and foliage are not uncommon, but in those cases usually the features of the building are still in the correct place, if slightly shifted. Significant shifts result in feaures of the building being significantly out of place. On the first example, the colour is all shifted about 1/2 mm to the right. This has resulted in green foliage appearing on the base of the flagpole. The red trim of the window at right is shifted significantly to the right. There are also white outlines around all the dormers and bordering the roof. On the second example, all the colour is shifted about 1/2mm upward. This causes the light blue shingles on the dormers at left appear above the dormer roofline. There is a white outline near the base of the roof all the way around. Finally, the red trim of the window and doors appears above the tope of them.
