The Avery Collection of the Postage Stamps of the World (Classic Reprint) by W. H. Peckitt Pdf

Excerpt from The Avery Collection of the Postage Stamps of the World I did nothing more in stamps until about 1878 when I commenced again with Lincoln's album, and was fortunate enough to fill up most of the blank spaces, and had a very good number of rare stamps. I was. However, very disgusted with this style of collecting when I paid a visit to the Birmingham Philatelic Society and saw the method of arranging stamps on hinges and classifying perforations, and I finally decided, about 1887, to sell my collection again. I sold some portion, but as I saw some of the rarities go I changed my mind and began again with a good Senf album. As I filled up one country after another I began removing these into special albums. I had the opportunity of buying a good special collection of Australian stamps belonging to Mr. Bullock, of Australia, and added the Australian stamps I had before to these, and so made it into a much stronger and more perfect collection.

The Postage Stamps of the United States (Classic Reprint) by John N. Luff Pdf

Excerpt from The Postage Stamps of the United States As has been previously remarked, the introduction of adhesive postage stamps in Europe was followed by a demand for similar conveniences in this country. Tut the Government was slow to accede to popular wishes and did not yield until the example had been set by the local posts and by issues of a semi-private nature on the part of certain postmasters.

Miniature Messages by Jack Child Pdf

In Miniature Messages, Jack Child analyzes Latin American postage stamps, revealing the messages about history, culture, and politics encoded in their design and disseminated throughout the world. While postage stamps are a sanctioned product of official government agencies, Child argues that they accumulate popular cultural value and take on new meanings as they circulate in the public sphere. As he demonstrates in this richly illustrated study, the postage stamp conveys many of the contestations and triumphs of Latin American history. Child combines history and political science with philatelic research of nearly forty thousand Latin American stamps. He focuses on Argentina and the Southern Cone, highlighting stamps representing the consolidation of the Argentine republic and those produced under its Peronist regime. He compares Chilean stamps issued by the leftist government of Salvador Allende and by Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship. Considering postage stamps produced under other dictatorial regimes, he examines stamps from the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Paraguay. Child studies how international conflicts have been depicted on the stamps of Argentina, Chile, and Peru, and he pays particular attention to the role of South American and British stamps in establishing claims to the Malvinas/Falkland Islands and to Antarctica. He also covers the cultural and political history of stamps in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Grenada, Mexico, Uruguay, Venezuela and elsewhere. In Miniature Messages, Child finds the political history of modern Latin America in its “tiny posters.”

A Comprehensive Catalogue of the Postage Stamps of the United States of America (Classic Reprint) by Nicholas Edwin Waterhouse Pdf

Excerpt from A Comprehensive Catalogue of the Postage Stamps of the United States of America No reference is made as to postmarks, though in some of the earlier issues Carrier, Steamboat and Paid Cancellations are decidedly rare, as also those shewing year dates. Again certain stamps on entire envelopes are of greater value than if detached, a notable example being the 900. Of 1869 which is priced at 3 in the catalogues, but for which the writer (who has yet to see one) has heard of an offer of 20 to purchase a fine copy on entire! The colour of the obliterating ink may also have a marked effect on the value, green for instance being very scarce in the 1847 Issue. No Imperforate or part perforated varieties of stamps that are normally perforated are treated as varieties, except where such are beyond suspicion owing to their being found in pairs or blocks; and double or misplaced perforations are not listed, though they are frequently met with and probably exist in every issue. Of the misplaced transfers only the most prominent varieties are described. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
