Description

SUPPLEMENT TO THE ARMAND E. SINGER TIBET 1809-1975
by Armand E. Singer, 1998
Softbound, 55 pages,
all in color
A sumptuous and highly enjoyable tour of the far reaches of Tibetan philately, that gives free reign to a master exhibitor's eclectic and playful tastes. This supplement follows the same format as the parent volume:
photocopies (now all in full color) of pages from Singer's unparalleled collection,
again replete with annotations and indexed, covering exceptional items that did not appear in the original work, and venturing even farther from the beaten track.
Included are 19 pages of
Tibetan seals
, showing a 1799 amban cover, seals of Regents to Dalai Lamas, the Sakya Lama, and more; the
1974 Eustis government-in-exile set;
the mysterious
1911 Chinese Occupation "Specimen" overprints;
the
British Presence in Tibet
(10 pp.) including a Younghusband Expedition medal, the
F.P.O. No. 82
cancel of 1904 and the
F.P.O. No. 87

Yatung F.P.O. No. 70
postmark, one of two recorded, and more; finally
Tibet native stamps and postal history
(20 pp.), notably the unique 1912 ½ trangka gray lilac shiny enamel paint sheet, ex-Roosevelt, Dechen "floreal" cancels on cover with 1912 set franking, a newly-discovered second example of the 1914 eight trangka on commercial cover, and many other major and minor delights.
