| Abstract: | A visit to Albania in 1990 brought me back to philately after a 25-year break, not the easiest country to collect, as I soon found, but an encounter with a sad faced lion sculpture in the Upper Barracca suggested lions as a theme and a visit to the elderly dealer then in Old Bakery Street set me off on Belgian Lions. Starting with the Gibbon's catalogue I was intrigued by "Booklet pane No. 490x4 plus two labels", what were these labels? My first stamp fair back in the UK provided the answer, the labels were advertisements. This discovery opened a fascinating field of Belgian Philately, namely the role of advertising. [excerpt] |
