David Feldman's Great Britain & British Empire June 12, 2018

Dear Collectors and friends, After the wonderful success of the “Tatiana” Collection sales in 2015 and 2016, and the “Tatiana” Mafia Island, the Dan Walker Indian States and the fabulous “Adamastor” classic Mauritius collections in 2017, we are delighted to present yet another very fine and diverse offering of Great Britain and British Empire to the market. This catalogue has been produced in record time mostly thanks to the dedication and hard work of Ricky Verra, our resident British Empire specialist, and of our support team, especially Alex Porter, our senior designer and Gilles Lüthi, working hard scanning all the lots. Over 50 countries are represented in more than 1’250 lots with a wonderful array of singles and collections spread throughout this catalogue thanks to two old-time fresh consignments, which includes specialised sections of Cyprus, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Mauritius and South Africa. To help market and promote the auction to our British audience, the auction will be held in Pounds Sterling. We will also hold a special viewing of all single lots and selected/requested large lots at the Shapero Modern Gallery in Mayfair on June 4-6. If you have a request to view a specific lot please contact [email protected] and we will do our best to accommodate you. David Feldman strives for excellence in lotting, presentation and production of every major property entrusted to us. We invite you to visit us in person or via the internet at www. davidfeldman.com to examine and determine those lots that may interest you. Note that practically all group lots are now scanned and viewable on our website. If however, you wish extra scans, contact us at [email protected] . Please bear in mind that, with only a few exceptions, the lots are offered without reserve, and at estimates, you should find attractive. We wish you success with your bids and satisfaction with your purchases. Geneva, May 2018 Marcus Orsi Directior & Chief Philatelist Introduction
