Description
1932-1935, Correspondence between Jean de Sperati and the Hekker’s Postzegelhandel auction house in Amsterdam, concerning a litigation which started when some forgeries consigned by Sperati where discovered as a result of a tipping-off but an unknown Englishman and after Sperati had sold in previous auction through the same company, containing copies of the letters sent by the auction house and the abundant manuscript letters from Sperati, which allows to know closer his personality. Also an invoice from the B.P.A. from 10.8.34 where stamps from Newfoundland, Río de Oro, Buenos Aires, Colombia, Bremen, Spain and Nevis where submitted for certification and stated to be forgeries, with an additional certificate dated almost three years before (22.12.31) where the Austria newspaper stamp 6kr yellow was stated to be genuine but repaired. In addition a letter from Sperati to Miro in France where he offers him to make an introduction for a book he had planned and wishes to make him a present, represented in a stamp of Spain, as a gesture of peacemaking (then Miro was involved in the judicial process against Sperati in France). A very interesting and most unusual lot. Auction
