Worldwide Thematic Collection – PIGEON MAIL, KITES & GLIDERS,
1898–2010 (15 Exhibition Pages). A fascinating and highly original
specialised thematic collection devoted to pigeon post, kite mail
and glider experiments, mounted on 15 exhibition pages (including
one oversized A3). The assembly comprises ca. 70 items and combines
proofs, essays, scarce stamps and remarkable postal history,
providing a coherent study of mankind’s earliest airborne
communications. Highlights include: 3 artist’s essays, notably
original adopted artwork by André Lavergne and rare bird sketches
by Nick Shrewring (Bahamas), 4 die proofs, 5 Greece Olympic Games
colour proofs (stamp-size, 2 on wove paper, 3 on card), 1898 Great
Barrier Island “Pigeon Post” selection (6 unused), French military
pigeon post postal history, including: Cover from the Military
Pigeon Loft Station, Belfort, bearing the blue boxed “COLOMBIER
MILITAIRE BELFORT” handstamp, Postcard dated 18 July 1904 from
Military Pigeon Loft Station, 71 Bd. Victor, Paris, with black
“Croix Rouge Française – Colombophile” vignette, 1905 “Le Matin”
Newspaper Pigeon Post flimsy message actually carried by pigeon,
Printed postcard “La Poste par Pigeons” with attached envelope
labelled “Message par Pigeon”. Additional worldwide commemorative
and pigeon-themed issues, including Mauritania UPU Specimens
depicting a pigeon carrying a letter. Condition is generally fine,
with many items of significant rarity and exhibition calibre. A
superb specialist thematic study on an unusual and appealing
subject, combining depth in proofs and essays with scarce pioneer
and military pigeon post items. Rarely offered in such a coherent
form. Ex. The ‘Izhak Barak’ Collection: The Development of Aviation
and Transportation of Mail by Air until 1914.
