Stamp Boxes - Les Boîtes à Timbres, by Brian Best, New

Stamp Boxes - Les Boîtes à Timbres, by Brian Best. During the Belle Epoque of 1880 to 1915, when letter writing was the primary means of communication in an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity, stamp boxes were a basic necessity for the literate classes. The range in forms and of materials is staggering, from the humble wooden souvenir to amazingly intricate mechanisms and the jewelled creations of Faberge. This book described the full history of the stamp box from 1840 up to the present through the magnificent collection exhibited at the Musée de la Poste in Paris. It is, surprisingly, the first book ever to be published on this subject. 200 boxes are illustrated, 56 in color. Written in parallel French & English. 1994, 120 pages, perfect bound card covers, New. A beautiful book.
