1863-1936, lot of new classical and semi-modern stamps presented on album sheets with collector's comments. The lot consists mainly of large values, e.g. No. 40 fine printing of Tours, Napoleon laurels in VF centering, block of 4 copies of No. 49, several semi-moderns (122, EIPA 30 blue in block of 4, 262 perforated 11, 155, etc.), complete sheet of No. 256 "Sourire de Reims". Most of the stamps have either hinges removed or gum redone, but the pieces are all superb in appearance and very fresh, with enormous dimensions.
