1861/87 Hermes Heads collection in album, neatly presented and annotated, arranged by printing (roughly corresponding with the Stanley Gibbons classification) and predominantly used, most being fine 4 margin examples. From the 1861 Paris printing we note 3x 1L (1 is mint), 5L, 10L (scarce), 20L and 2 x 40L with x 5L, 2 x 10L, 3x 20L, 40L and 2x 80L from the first Athens printing. Thereafter the later Athens issues, paper types, coarse and fine printings etc, typically to the 80L, then extensive coverage of the 1881/7 issues with an excellent range of shades, much potential postmark interest etc. A very fine assembly
