Vintage stamp-collecting book.
The early stamp catalog that included postal stationery (such as envelopes, wrappers, and letter sheets) as well as many local issues was the third edition of the catalog published by Mount Brown in 1866.1
While other early catalogs were produced in the 1860s by individuals such as Oscar Berger-Levrault, Alfred Potiquet, Frederick Booty, and J.E. Gray, Brownâs work is notable for its inclusion of these specific materials, which are generally excluded from standard modern stamp catalogs.1
