Papua New Guinea Area, The "Come to Papua!" Collection, 1897-1984. Mounted in a Scott Specialty album; a beautiful collection in its own right, and one that would be a pleasure to complete; includes issues from every period of the region's history, be it German, British, Australian or independent; begins (oddly, on the last page) with 1897-1919 German issues, both overprinted German stamps and Yachts; a load of Lakatois from British New Guinea; a hundred of Huts and bevy of Birds of Paradise (regular, Air and Official issues) from New Guinea; plus Papua (and) New Guinea complete from 1932 less three stamps, including Airs and Dues; delightfully vibrant colors, clean paper and gum, and enticing designs throughout, Very Fine on the whole, well worth the time to review.
