The Bermuda Triangle of Argentinean Philately
Publicado: 12 Abr 2010 11:49
A long history of Argentinean traditional philately - almost 125 years by now - has been landmarked by great discoveries that ought to have found their permanent place in the sources immediately accessible for every new generation of philatelists:
- the major, general catalogues in the first place
- the specialized catalogues - referenced in the general catalogues
- the specialized articles - referenced in the specialized catalogues
- a general computerized index,
- etc...
The lower in the above rank, the closer to have been absorbed into the Bermuda Triangle....
What I describe here is not typical for Argentina, in my own country - the Netherlands - the situation is maybe worse due to us living partly below sea-level and simultaneously preferring to scythe off everything that grows a millmeter above the lawn level ("maaiveld") ...
During the year I am dealing with Argentina philately I have come across several phenomena that I thought to be known for ages, but that might have somehow disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle....
I think it is good to point out - again maybe - to certain facts or data that may have got lost in the Bermuda Triangle.
Chronologically, the first item I would suggest is the 12c "Sobrecito" printed in recess by Bradbury Wilkinson, mentioned only in the German Michel catalogues and the British Stanley Gibbons...
