FA: Rare Philatelic Art Portfolios - Birds, Fish, Egypt, etc.
To any bibliophile with philatelic tendencies who might be interested, these
five unusual volumes are currently listed separately on eBay (auctions end Sunday, 6/20). "IRIS" - Recueils philatéliques d'Art, d'Histoire et de Science. Paris: Hélio-Vaugirard, 1948-1955. The subjects of the individual volumes are GOYA, BIRDS, ANCIENT EGYPT, ARGENTINA, and FISH. Large (13"x10") chemised and slipcased portfolios published by the stamp engravers Helio-Vaurigard. Each is limited to 500 copies and contains 8-12 loose plates (photographs, reproductions, and original artwork, some pochoir) in color and black&white depicting the subject of a stamp, which is also reproduced (actual size, in heliogravure) on the plate. Each volume also contains 8-12 twelve épreuves de luxes or "deluxe sheets," engraved imperforate reproductions of the stamps featured on the plates. Quite uncommon items... More details and scans can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/m6q9 - or by doing a search on the seller name: arch_in_la. Cheers, Ardwight Chamberlain L.A. |
