BRITISH INDIA POSTAL STATIONERY
This is an illustrated history and listing of postal stationery issued in India up to Independence in 1947.
It is the culmination of over 30 years research which resulted in the four volume work "The guide to the postal stationery of India". Since then the amount of new information and feed-back has made it possible to produce this updated and fresh study of the subject.
It is the seminal work with chapters covering postcards,
envelopes, newspaper wrappers, Victorian letter sheets, air letter sheets,
airgraphs, telegraph forms and a chapter on post-Independence. A final
chapter covers collecting extensions including specimens, dies, punches,
essays and proofs, bands, labels and parcel wrappers used abroad and
by the states. The book is profusely illustrated and cross-indexed with
the Higgins & Gage and Jain reference numbers.
The original four volume version on which this is based was awarded
a Bronze medal at London 1980 and a Silver at India International Exhibition
1980. Bronze and Silver Bronze medals were awarded at the British Philatelc
Federation in 1979 and 1980
