A catalogue for advanced collectors of postage stamps, stamped envelopes and wrappers;
A philatelic catalogue published in New York by the Scott Stamp and Coin Company in 1890, compiled by Henry Collin and Henry L. Calman for serious stamp collectors, illustrating stamps and envelopes with engraved plates. The pictures show black-and-white engravings of stamps from Salvador and Gibraltar-style issues, with ornate frames, portrait medallions, a seated allegorical figure, a volcano, a monument and a battle scene, offering a designer dense ornamental border and cartouche layouts, and lettering set inside oval frames.
