Czechoslovakia, Exhaustive Study of the Hradcany Castle Issue, 1918-20, An incomparable holding of thousands of items in various collection/exhibition page stages along with stockcards and housed in three volumes. The massive first volume contains exhibition pages with outstanding analysis, plus covers (over 80 examples); subjects featured include trial printings with dozens of examples, mostly imperf, bulk in black, paper examples, etc. We note "makulatura" brownish paper types, scarce "vzorec" specimen overprints, extensive trial color proofs, an interesting and colorful array of printer's waste items, etc. Moving on to the stamps proper, we find plate flaws extraordinaire (one entire, splendidly presented volume is dedicated solely to these, and it is remarkable!), cancellations, including analysis by period, lozenge postmarks, "boxed" cancels, double circle studies, traveling P.O. cancels (extensive), rate studies including marginal markings, perforation analysis and varieties, imperf betweens, pre-printing paper flaws, and much, much more. This collection is on its way to becoming a potentially formidable exhibit. Inspection is highly recommended to absorb the depth and scope of this passionate holding, generally Fine to Very Fine.
