VIRTUAL MUSEUM COLLECTOMANIA

The image is one of an unedited Liebig Company set, printed around 1890, and in was mentioned 1988 in Sanguinettis catalogue, but in later catalogues that he published : this kind of sets was not mentioned anymore, These proof-sets, for instance nr 329a got a number with a letter A as last digit. Those non-edited sets, vanished a few years from that catalogue, because you cannot find any. Rerecently I found one in an album, unexpected. Enjoy the images … This is real Ephemera, printed on behalf of the Liebig Company, but they decided … when seeing it to pay printer and artist : but not to publish.

There are more of these Proof-sets RRRR
