May 24, 2008 Prestige Philately - The Sixth International Rarities Auction Page: 9 Lot Type Grading Description Est $A PHILATELIC LITERATURE 1 L A "The Royal Philatelic Collection" by Sir John Wilson (1952), being a complete catalogue of the most important and valuable stamp collection ever formed, compiled by the Keeper of the Royal Collection himself. Without doubt, this is the finest philatelic book of all time, produced on the highest-quality paper, extensively illustrated with 64 black & white plates and 12 exceptional colour plates. This is the deluxe edition bound in red Morocco leather with the Royal coat-of-arms emblazoned in gold on the face. In excellent condition (but the accompanying original slipcase is falling apart). Ex Tim Rybak. Accompanied by "The Prospectus" of 16pp including a colour photo of the book and sample pages. Also with an advertisement by the publishers that speaks of "12 magnificent plates in most exact colour photo-lithography": they were so well printed that cutouts have often been sold as original stamps!! If this book had been published in any other field of endeavour it would be worth many thousands of dollars. Because it's "only" philately, it has never achieved its potential and is a gift at our estimate. Weighing 7 kilograms, this impressive volume should be the cornerstone of every philatelic library worth the name.{Page 9.1} 1,000 Lot 1 15% Buyer’s Premium will be added to the Hammer Price.
