collecting kashmir

If you are a stamp collector, and should you venture someday to a certain museum at Srinagar in the Kashmir valley, you might ask after the antique handstamp dies & printing plates. Taking up the nine early-period implements in turn, we ramble through some of the philatelic territory in these pages. The two Masson volumes, Séfi & Mortimer, Dawson & Smythies, and other older works are republished on-site in this Literature link†.
