| Publisher Description: This antique text contains a catalogue of the stamps of the Australian continent, compiled and published by The Philatelic Society, London, in 1887. Written with the intention of enabling collectors to reconstruct their own plates with the aim of allowing them to detect impostures, this antiquarian text is a must-have for the discerning philatelist - and for anyone with an interest in the stamps of Australia in the late nineteenth-century. Chapters contained herein include: Fiji Islands, New South Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, Samoa Islands, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia. We are proud to republish this text here complete with its original photographs and a new introduction to the subject of philately. |
