This is
one of the classic GB philatelic reference books, being long out of
print & very hard to source. It was first published in 1899,
and covers all issues from 1840-1892 including telegraph stamps,
officials, fiscals & Ottoman empire overprints, with specialist
detail on: design; plates; slates; paper; colour; gum; perforation;
numbers printed and minor/major errors & varieties.
Features
12 pages of photo-mezzotype illustrations and 26 pages of diagrams,
with 288 pages of text. Highlights include 2 full page photos -
how to distinguish Die I & II of the early 1d with 16
comparative features (see sample below). The vast majority
of the line-engraved & surface printed types are illustrated
along with telegraph stamps and overprints. Individual pages
can be printed - for your personal use - why
not use them to illustrate your albums. Each of the 26 diagrams
shows a slate - see the sheet layout, watermarks, ornaments,
marginal inscriptions &c (scroll down past contents list to see
and example).
A FULLY TEXT SEARCHABLE
& PRINTABLE PDF edition on CD
...suitable for all
computers & electronic book
readers.
Die I - Only a small part shown - but you can
see that none of the quality of the original publication has been
lost.

of small text) tabular statement of
the imprimatur sheets of the line
engraved, embossed and surface printed issues, including official
& telegraph stamps.
