It looks like the middle row of Roman letters is stitched in vertical columns rather than rows, and the parts that look like back stitch are actually done like black work with a double running or Holbein stitch. <br /><br />I know there is a way to stitch alternate crosses, so that when you do the return row you make alternate crosses in the spaces in the back. If you do that twice, you could have solid crosses on both sides, though you'd have to do some half crosses to avoid a vertical stitch on the back when you turn the row. <br /><br />It must take an amazing amount of skill and planning to make it all come out so perfectly.
