Baselines can be off because when you would roll the carriage, sometimes they didn’t line up well to the lines of a paper. So the baselines vary, that’s not unusual.
The layers are part of how entire words were ‘added’ as layers to a lower layer, and in the case of the word ‘MALE’ and KAPIOLANI, etc’ the added words are obviously not on the lower layer image since the curvature of the lower image is not present in the letters layered onto the lower image layers. That some want to call that foolishness and ridicule people who have clearly seen this layering effects ought to tell us that there is serious fraud which someone is trying to ‘alinsky’ have the scrutiny go away.
