A catalogue for advanced collectors of postage stamps, stamped envelopes and wrappers;
A philatelic catalogue of postage stamps, stamped envelopes and wrappers, compiled for advanced collectors and published in New York by the Scott Stamp and Coin Company in 1890. The pages show engraved stamp designs from Ecuador, Costa Rica and Egypt, with values, denominations and perforation notes printed beside them. A designer could take from them the compact frame-and-medallion layouts, the oval central vignettes with portrait or pyramid scenes, and the dense ornamental borders used on small printed labels.
