Morningmoss stamps & philately.

I was recently delighted to receive a beautiful collection of stamps and a catalogue from Morningmoss, a land I as yet know little about.

Morningmoss stamps, and the Postage Due set.

Some of the stamps show some famous Post Offices of the country,while others show the Postmaster-General, evidently a very competent individual.  Several are for Military Post, so it is nice that the Army is encouraged to be literate.

The
 collection arrived in a nice cover, and included a colour Catalogue for
 the Galeron colony Sides ov de North.  This has been published by a 
local stamp firm, Tanley & Ibbons, who
 have been in the philatelic game for many eons, and have a good 
reputation.  But it is for catalogue publishing they are most 
well-known.

The Tanley & Ibbons Galeron stamp catalogue, a full-colour book.

Thank you for these, Les.

	I am impressed by the ornate figures of value on the Morningmoss "Postage Due" set! This is from a font I have not been able to identify. I will inquire of the designer. Morningmoss: just in case you wondered where it is.
