Many 100s, earlies condition mixed with useful ‘nugget’ pickings, but essentially this would form the nucleus of an excellent higher entry level collection forming a ‘launchpad’ for development and continuation.

Collection of 8 lettersheets each bearing 1d blacks, all addressed to Alfred Taylor, mainly at 3 Cambridge Place, Regents Park, London. An auction lot originally emanating from the sale (by Lacy Scott & Knight 5th October 2018) of The Alfred Swaine Taylor family collection Thorne Court, Bury St Edmunds. Professor Alfred Swaine Taylor (1806-1880) – had a distinguished career in medicine, publishing authoritative books, winning medical prizes, and was much in demand as an expert witness in forensic medicine focusing upon (quote) ‘the seemingly insatiable Victorian passion for poisoning’. He was sought out by, and inspired Victorian authors including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Charles Dickens. Alfred Taylor’s pre-eminent background well documented, the letters, surprisingly, are not. Some appear to be concerned with practical matters – all appear black manuscript legible, relatively well-preserved, though at some stage these may have become damp, because all of the penny blacks appear to have been moistened, so that some are lose requiring re-attachment to the donor letter. Half of the penny blacks appear to be 4 margins/close, the others mainly 3 margin, and probably capable of improving by removal of soiling / aging ‘bloom’. Tight focused studies of this type are rarely encountered these days and may yield interesting research upon the life and times of this pre-eminent Professor, from a period that fascinates us all today. Each ‘black’ apparently plated – unverified (very feint pencil manuscript upon each cover), plates 5, 6, 8, being amongst them. Scans available.
