Worldwide Thematic Collection – Aviation & Airmail, 1828–2014 (47
Exhibition Pages). An extensive and highly specialised worldwide
thematic collection devoted to aviation and the development of
airmail, presented on 47 exhibition pages and accompanied by a
supplementary stockbook. Carefully written-up and structured as a
study of mankind’s progress from myth to flight, the collection
traces the evolution of “mail by air” over nearly two centuries.
The principal exhibit comprises: 19 sunken die proofs, 36 colour
proofs (including a notable quantity of Spain Los Desparates
“Follies”), 2 signed artist’s essays (Albert Decaris’ unadopted
colour design of Blaise Pascal, and preliminary sketch for the 1968
Jeanne d’Arc), a substantial range of aviation/airmail/flight
stamps (notably including Italian Occupation of Ionian Islands 1945
Daedalus & Pegasus), 17 booklets, 19 covers/cards (including an
1840 1d. black Mulready with personal letter), 8 pieces. The
thematic storyline follows the broad sweep of aeronautical history:
Before Flight, Myths & Legends, Science, Literature and Art, First
Powered Flight Attempts, Vertical Take-off, Hydroplanes, and the
rise of Airmail services. In addition, a stockbook of supporting
aviation material includes 5 photographic proofs (Argentina 1947
Aeronautical), a further 34 colour proofs, 132 stamps, and 2
miniature sheets. Coverage is worldwide, from the earliest
experimental issues to modern commemoratives, and includes numerous
scarce sets, predominately unused, with condition mostly fine
throughout (modern material especially fine). This is far more than
a topical assembly – it is a carefully constructed thematic
exhibit, rich in proofs, essays and postal history, with a strong
intellectual framework and many items of standalone philatelic
importance. A collection that could be re-exhibited with
distinction or readily broken down into highly desirable specialist
lots. Ex. The ‘Izhak Barak’ Collection: The Development of Aviation
and Transportation of Mail by Air until 1914.

Collins RN., in the London Philatelist digital archives (available online to members) from Volume LXIX, number 812, July 1960 almost continuously running through to Volume LXX, number 823 of July 1961 (a printed copy is available to viewers with the lot). The illustrations with this plating study are taken from this original article. The sheet size was the usual British 240 positions, however the plate was in fifteen horizontal rows of eight pairs. This made the Plate unusually large for Perkins Bacon and when the top eight horizontal rows had been printed, the sheet had to be turned round in the press and the work continued with the relative positions of the dies now reversed. Above the "Die Shift Line" dividing the sheet between the eighth and ninth horizontal rows, the stamps are Type A over B; below the Die Shift Line the stamps are orientated Type B over A. The collection on beautifully written-up leaves with the nigh on complete plating of the Triangular 4d. blue from all printings, made up with a total of 245 stamps from the plate of 240: Horizontal Row I: Two used sheet marginal blocks of four (PB), strip of three used and singles unused (1) and used (4) Horizontal Row II: Block of four used, unused marginal pair (DLR), used pairs (3), singles unused (1) and used (4) Horizontal Row III: Two blocks of four unused (DLR), used pairs (PB, two) and singles unused (1) and used (6) Horizontal Row IV: Plate Proof pair, Block of four used (PB), Pair unused (DLR) and singles used (6, one marginal) Horizontal Row V: Block of six used (PB), Strip of five used (PB), Block of four unused (DLR), Block of four used (PB), Pairs used (3), and singles unused (1) used (5, one sheet marginal) Horizontal Row VI: Block of four unused (DLR), used block of four (PB) and singles unused (1) and used (7) Horizontal Row VII: Strip of three used, Pairs unused (DLR, 3), Pairs (2) used (PB) and singles unused (1) and used (8) Horizontal Row VIII: Pair unused (DLR) and singles used (5) Horizontal Row IX: Block of four on piece (PB), Pair used, singles unused (1) and used (7) Horizontal Row X: Block of eight unused (DLR), Strip of three used (PB), Pairs used (2), unused (1) and used (1, on piece) Horizontal Row XI: Strip of three used, Pair used (PB), unused (1) and used (3) Horizontal Row XII: Used strip of six (ex Stevenson and Huston), used block of four (ex Caspary), used pair, singles unused (1) and used (3) Horizontal Row XIII: Block of four unused (DLR), used pairs (2) and singles unused (5) and used (3) Horizontal Row XIV: Block of four used (two, PB), block of four used (DLR), unused pair and singles unused (1) and used (2) Horizontal Row XV: Used pairs (2) and singles unused (3) and used (4). All blocks (when vertical) are listed from the top row of the block. All the above singles, pairs and blocks are in generally fine to very fine quality and this is a spectacular achievement when combined with the single items from this Exhibit Gi = £ 50'000+.

1922–1935 Overprints – Comprehensive and Specialised Collection. An
extensive and valuable specialised collection/accumulation,
predominantly mint with some used, housed in three albums and ten
folders. Outstanding in both scope and depth, the collection
includes proofs, complete sets of lower values (½d to 1s), and a
fine representation of high values (2s6d to 10s) in singles,
blocks, and multiples throughout. Superb coverage of major
overprint varieties, including missing accents (on both low and
high values), circumflex accent, PENCF corrected, date at top,
offsets on gum side, and missing “1922” and much more. Also present
is a broad study of minor and constant varieties, such as “1022”
for “1922”, broken letters, misplaced overprints, and related
anomalies. Further enhanced by coil leaders, joins, and positional
pieces, providing an exceptional research resource. Much
duplication. A fresh, mostly very fine, and remarkably complete
assembly, seldom offered in such scope. An important lot for the
serious Irish specialist. (Thousands) (STC Hibernian €40,000+)
