693 /o/   imageItalian States, Il Maestro Collection. Rick and Ilsa may always have Paris, but bid right and you can own the City Eternal—and the rest of the Peninsula as well; this is a stunningly built, beautifully presented and masterfully annotated collection of pre-Unification Italian philately; singles and multiples abound, both genuine and fake—the fakes clearly noted as such—with varieties throughout; as incredible a holding as the stamps are, the true gravity (figural and literal) of this collection is the covers: arranged alphabetically within each region, these provide a visual history of the Statal posts, both stamped and stampless; there are examples of folded letters dating to the late 18th century, though the majority of items are 19th century leading up to Garibaldi's campaigns, with even a strong showing of Italian usages as well; and this isn't just a sporadic item here or there: the entire collection fills nine Scott Specialty albums with overflow material in a black stocksheet sleeve, allowing the intrepid to trace not just postal routes but also the slow convergence of the various kingdoms into a unified nation-state; we note Fournier forgeries (including full sheets of the Roman States issues), as well as fakery from Milan and Geneva; oily print Roman States stamps used on cover; Registered, Due, Railway and a plethora of origin, transit and receiving markings; uncommon usages, and so much more; many items come on their original auction cards (with original descriptions, many of which note "rare" or "scarce" with relevant Sassone rarity factors provided), with many items, stamps or covers, with certificates or signed by the likes of Vaccari, Chiavello, A. Diena and Raybaudi, on the whole Very Fine, the only way to truly appreciate the grandeur of this offering is to see it—so we've imaged the vast majority of it on our website, one of the finest Italian States collections we've had the honor to offer.
