Synopsis
Excerpt from The Avery Collection of the Postage Stamps of the World
I did nothing more in stamps until about 1878 when I commenced again with Lincoln''s album, and was fortunate enough to fill up most of the blank spaces, and had a very good number of rare stamps. I was. However, very disgusted with this style of collecting when I paid a visit to the Birmingham Philatelic Society and saw the method of arranging stamps on hinges and classifying perforations, and I finally decided, about 1887, to sell my collection again.
I sold some portion, but as I saw some of the rarities go I changed my mind and began again with a good Senf album. As I filled up one country after another I began removing these into special albums.
I had the opportunity of buying a good special collection of Australian stamps belonging to Mr. Bullock, of Australia, and added the Australian stamps I had before to these, and so made it into a much stronger and more perfect collection.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book catalogues the most famous stamp collection of its time, which was sold in 1903 for the exceptionally high price of £24,500. The collection belonged to Sir William Avery, who was a renowned stamp enthusiast and a close associate of the philatelic community. He was able to acquire some of the choicest treasures from major collections that came onto the market thanks to his wide network of contacts. The collection at the time was second only to the renowned Tapling collection of stamps in Great Britain and contained a vast and comprehensive representation of the world's stamps from their inception in 1840 up to 1890. It is a testament to the importance of the collection that it was the first of its kind to be broken up, and this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of philately at the turn of the 20th century. It is a must-have for serious collectors and postal historians alike, offering valuable insights into the history of stamp collecting.
