ARGENTINE / BUENOS AIRES – Photo album of BUENOS AIRES stamps, which form part of the UNIVERSAL COLLECTION of new stamps, presented at the Philatelic Exhibitions in Vienna and Turin in 1911, where the COLLECTION won two major awards. Twenty-five copies of this ALBUM have been published, this being No. 9. Its owner is offering it to Mr. Geo H. Worthington ... Buenos Aires, 19 September 1912.– A unique photo album with a total of 1 + 18 cardboard album pages (33 cm wide x 36.5 cm high), each with a glued-in photo page (20.5 x 29 cm) showing images of the stamps and varieties of the Buenos Aires issues. The owner (whose signature can perhaps be identified as ... "...Rodrigues" on the dedication page) offered this unique collection of unused issues to George H. Worthington (1850–1924) in Cleveland, Ohio, who was considered the greatest collector in the United States at the time. The cardboard pages are in good condition, as is the original elaborate cardboard cover with gold embossed title. A bibliophile's dream. Viewing recommended. Estimate: 500 Euro.
