British East Africa 1891/97: Collection on album pages, comprising the Imperial British East Africa Company issues and subsequent overprinted provisionals on India and Zanzibar, with an emphasis on printings, settings and varieties. Includes 1891–94 Company definitives with a useful study of printings on watermarked and unwatermarked papers, showing a range of shades and issues by date (1891–94 printings). The 1895 “British
East Africa” overprints on India well represented, including a largely complete run of values with multiples, together with a specialised group of varieties of overprints such as spelling errors (e.g. “Afrlca”, “Aplrca”, inverted
“V for A”, and inverted "s" in “East”), with some identified by SG number and occasional certification noted. Further includes the Zanzibar surcharged provisionals (1896/97), illustrating different surcharge types and settings, with additional varieties. Also Small Queen 1896 Protectorate issues on Crown CA paper with a good range of values and shades, including higher values to several rupees. Condition somewhat mixed in places, though many fine and fresh
examples; a well-organised and specialist-oriented collection offering considerable scope for further study and expansion. Gi = £ 7'764 (Image 1)
