  • Forensic Analysis of Great Britain 1858–1879 1D Plate 77 Stamps on Cover Abed H
    Forensic Analysis of Great Britain 1858–1879 1d Plate 77 Stamps on Cover Abed H. Najjar ABSTRACT. In 2003, the author obtained an 1865 cover franked with three Great Brit- ain 1858–1879 1d plate 77 stamps (SG 43). If genuine, this is a very valuable and his- torically significant philatelic item. Discoveries of plate 77 stamps are always met with suspicion because they are so rare and have often been the subject of attempted fakery. This paper presents a detailed scientific study of this cover and the stamps. It begins by presenting a compilation of possible methods that might be used for faking the plate 77 stamps. It then develops an analysis plan that carefully examines each possibility. Appro- priate analytical equipment is identified for each step in the process. Finally, the stamps in question are subjected to rigorous testing. The majority of the testing was performed by state- of- the- art, independent laboratories in the United Kingdom and the United States. Many different analyses were employed. These included optical and scanning electron microscopy, X- ray fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and more. The paper then presents the results of these analyses and the conclusions drawn from them. All of these data were reviewed by outside forensic experts in order to validate the scientific procedures. Two anomalies that arose during testing are discussed, and hypotheses are posed to account for them. INTRODUCTION An 1865 part cover (Figure 1), which was sent from Guernsey to Brussels, was writ- ten in the hand of the famed literary figure and playwright Victor Hugo, who resided at Hauteville House in Guernsey.

PEMBERTON, AUTHOR OF “ THE PHILATELICAL CATALOGUE,” ETC.; EDITOR OF “ THE PHILATELICAL JOURNAL.” D A W L ISH : JAM ES R GRANT & CO. PLYMOUTH: STANLEY, GIBBONS, & CO. 1874. INTRODUCTION. T h e aims of the present work are not ambitious. A plain and strictly accurate list of postage stamps, brought down to the month of publication, copious notes relieving the monotony of the Catalogue, and clear, reliable lists of the Confederate and Russian Locals, form the whole of my plan. Technicalities are carefully avoided, and, though collectors of varieties will find all needful information, the peculiarities of watermark and perforation are made subsidiary. The work is written as “ A Stamp Collector’s Handbook,” to be an every-day guide and handy book, suitable and ready for reference on all ordinary points. The Catalogue has been con­ densed as far as consistent with accuracy, and should be of great service, since no complete catalogue has been published in English since 1870. The Appendix A, on Russian Locals, beginning at page ] 55, is the only complete list published ; and the Appendix В (page 192), on Confederate Locals, contains many полу mentioned for the first time in a catalogue. I have tried to render this work as accurate as possible, and I sincerely trust that it may prove as useful as I have aimed to make it. ED W A R D L. PEMBERTON. Dawlith, March, 1874.

The means for the growth of the collection were to be provided by the society. The collection is classified and catalogued according to the scheme of classification in use in this Library and a full card catalogue has been made. The pamphlet catalogue is intended to make the collec­ tion more available to members of the society who live at a distance. It supersedes the catalogue of “Books on Philately in the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh,” published in 1901, which is out of print. The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh will be glad to receive any additions to the collection which may be made on behalf of the society, and especially any items which appear in the printed Want List.

  • British Philatelic Societies Histories to 2004
    B1 Philatelic Research at the British Library By David R Beech, FRPSL Head of the Philatelic Collections at the British Library Introduction The three key elements of the Curator’s job are: to collect, to preserve and to make available. In many ways that of making available is the most difficult to achieve and so I welcome this opportunity to describe the considerable resources available to researchers in philately and postal history at the British Library. The British Library is the National Library of the United Kingdom and while it was established only (by the British Library Act, 1972) in 1973, its collections originate from a number of institutions, significantly for the philatelist from the British Museum library departments and from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the form of the India Office Library and Records. The size, range and coverage of these national collections of international importance is difficult to get across, indeed one would have to spend a lifetime in understanding their inestimable significance to world culture and scholarship. One is forced to quote numbers, give examples of classes of material and describe a few individual items of special significance. In its last Annual Report to 31st March, 2004 the British Library’s holdings were given at 92,522,446 items, but even this does not give the true number as serials (periodicals, newspapers, auction catalogues etc) are counted by the number of catalogue entries. This means, for example, that The London Philatelist the journal of The Royal Philatelic Society London has one catalogue entry but is currently in its 113th volume or about 1,300 individual numbers.
