image Collection in 2 Binders on Minkus Sheets, the Spain collection is very nearly complete for the period 1942 to 1990 though the previous period should not be overlooked and there are still an interesting number of stamps to about year 2000.

Spanish Guinea, Fernando Po, Rio Muni, Morocco, Ifni and Western Sahara are the most interesting colonies. Some faults noted on earlier material. (Image)
