    The Official 1896 Presentation Album of Japanese Stamps: "Dai Nippon Teikoku Ubin Kitte Eukakushi" (The Postage Stamp History of the Japanese Empire), with all postage and telegraph issues and postal stationery from 1871/1896 and two 1874 Express labels; complete with all 1112 pages and beautifully bound in silk with the original purple ties for binding at side, printed in both Japanese and English. The book contains original examples of all stamps except for seven which were no longer available even in the Post Office archives. Between pages 88 and 89 of the book there is a fold-out page detailing the exact numbers printed of the original issues. The book is dedicated on the first page (at the back) to "Monsieur Homberger, Budapest, 22 July 1896". The book is contained in a superbly crafted box for it's continued preservation. A wonderful and outstanding example of what is, perhaps, the most sought after book in all philatelic literature of Asia and of the utmost rarity to both bilbliophiles and philatelists.
    Note: For further information see L.N. and M. Williams-"Rarest Stamp Book in the World" article in the 'Philatelic Magazine' (October 14, 1938), a copy of which accompanies the lot.

    The Unofficial 1896 Presentation Album of Japanese Stamps: "Dai Nippon Teikoku Ubin Kitte Eukakushi" (The Postage Stamp History of the Japanese Empire), produced by the facsimile dealer K. Wada in Tokyo in late 1896 due to the demand for the copies of the original (which were only distibuted to high Officials around the world by the Japanese Dept. of Communications). Virtually a copy of the original work offered in the previous lot, the stamp specimens are outstanding facsimilies throughout, produced in a similar silk wrapper with differing notation on the front and different purple ties. This example also contains the fold-out table. The issue of this book was suppressed by the Japanese Government and, though full of forgeries, this book is of the same magnitude of rarity as the original though obviously the contents are not of the same value. An exquisite book en-cased, as the previous lot, in a hand-crafted box for protection.
