 Sperati personal records: a glass plate very similar to the famous sheet of eighteen stamps that Sperati sent to stamp dealer E. de Santos in Portugal in 1942, which was seized by French customs and led to the prosecution of
Sperati for exporting undeclared postage stamps. The stamps shown in this reproduction are identical to those sent to Portugal, but show different postmarks as he reproduced them. Probably Sperati produced such records of approval cards that he sent
out to various European stamp dealers.(Image 1)

 Sperati personal records: a glass plate reproducing a postal receipt for a letter sent to E. de Santos in Portugal in April 1941. E. de Santos was the stamp dealer to whom Sperati sent the famous sheet of eighteen stamps that
led to his prosecution for attempting to export undeclared postage stamps. Sperati seems to have produced such records of what he sent out from his workshop, to whom and at what time. A fascinating personal record that illustrates the meticulous
manner in which he conducted his stamp reproduction business.(Image 1)
