1932-1935, Correspondence between Jean de Sperati and the Hekker's Postzegelhandel auction house in Amsterdam, concerning a litigation which started when some forgeries consigned by Sperati where discovered as a result of a
tipping-off but an unknown Englishman and after Sperati had sold in previous auction through the same company, containing copies of the letters sent by the auction house and the abundant manuscript letters from Sperati, which allows to know closer
his personality. Also an invoice from the B.P.A. from 10.8.34 where stamps from Newfoundland, Río de Oro, Buenos Aires, Colombia, Bremen, Spain and Nevis where submitted for certification and stated to be forgeries, with an additional certificate
dated almost three years before (22.12.31) where the Austria newspaper stamp 6kr yellow was stated to be genuine but repaired. In addition a letter from Sperati to Miro in France where he offers him to make an introduction for a book he had planned
and wishes to make him a present, represented in a stamp of Spain, as a gesture of peacemaking (then Miro was involved in the judicial process against Sperati in France). A very interesting and most unusual lot.(Image 1)

Sperati Personal Records - group of nine glass clichés of which seven appear to be a record of approval cards Sperati has sent to dealers, three are of a page of eighteen stamps similar to the one sent to E. de Santos in
Portugal in 1942 (see lot 50000) which the French customs intercepted and prosecuted Sperati for exporting stamps without declaring them; interestingly there is a glass plate of a postal receipt sent to the same E. de Santos in Portugal in April
1941, there is also a second glass cliché which is a copy of a postal receipt sent to a company in New York, the other four clichés are four approval cards with nine stamps mounted upon them, presumably these being a record of what Sperati sent, to
whom and when; a fascinating personal record which illustrates the meticulous manner in which he conducted his business.(Image 1)

Miscellaneous, the "Philatélie d'Art" - Three different "Les "Jean-de-Sperati"/Philatélie d'Art" supports to contain stamps including an empty booklet of 18 pages and two folded cards of different sizes, as well as a list of
photocopies made in the 1950's including the list of prices of his reproductions by Sperati (it is interesting to note that for the 3 skilling yellow, he had an initial price of Fr8,000 for his cancelled reproductions, afterwards crossed out and
converted into Fr10,000, then also erased to leave a final price of Fr15,000, against an Yvert catalogue value of Fr1,500,000). Very interesting.(Image
