A catalogue for advanced collectors of postage stamps, stamped envelopes and wrappers;
A philatelic catalogue published in New York in 1890 by the Scott Stamp and Coin Company, compiled by Henry Collin and Henry L. Calman for advanced stamp collectors. Its engraved plates show postage stamps from Uruguay, a £25 revenue stamp, and Victorian stamp duty labels, with the pictures set against plain cream backgrounds. A designer could take from them the dense, ornate frames, shield shapes and numeral corner panels typical of nineteenth-century security printing.
