WATERMARK, CROWN & C.C. 
Issued 1900. Red ; a larger size ; picture of 
Llandovery falls ; only pennies. The next year the 
same design was printed with a black centre. The 
Llandovery falls are on the road between St. 
Ann’s Bay and Runaway Bay and the picture is, 
indeed, an apt illustration of the meaning of the 
word Jamaica, or Xaymaca , the land of wood and 
water. 
Used stamps must, of course, have the cancellation mark of the 
period in which they were used. 
The watermark C. A. (Crown Agent) means that the Crown Agents 
arranged for the printing of the stamps. C. C. (Crown Colony) really 
has no political significance.
