FOREWORD The following commentary on the V. P. Manwood Co llection of New South Wales has been generously contributed by one of the foremost authorities on Australasian philately, Mr. Geoffrey Kellow. We are grateful to Mr. Kello w for providing this most informative background to New South Wales philately, and we wish to acknowledge his work in preparing the Manwood collection for exhibition. The owner of the collection also wishes to express his profound gratitude to Mr. Robson Lowe, whose distinguished career in philately provided three generations of the owner's family with professional guidance and service .

New South Wal es was es tablished as a pe nal co lony in 1788, and appropriately the first postmaster, in 1809, was an ex-co nvict, Isaac Nichols. Des pite these humble beginnings , New South Wales commands a pre-eminent position in classic philate ly. In 1838, e mbossed lettersheets which prepaid postage within the Sydney city limits were issued. These were the idea of the Postmaster , j ames Ra ymond, who had read Rowla nd Hill 's pamphlet advocating postal reform. The Sydney prepaid stationery was a world first and preceded the issue of the Penn y Black by e ighteen months. Examp les of these item s in th e " Manwood" co llection includ e the ea rliest recorded date of use. New South Wales became the tenth country in the world to issue adhesive stamps, on j anuary 1, 1850. The imperforate issu es form three distinct gro ups-the "Sydney Views " , the "Laureates", and the "Diadems". The "Sydney Views" plates , for Id , 2d and 3d valu es, were each hand-engraved on copper by a different engraver. Subsequent wear meant that the Id plate had to be re-engraved once, and the 2d plate four times. The "Sydney Vi e ws " are noteworthy for being amongst the first stamp issues eve r to be " plated " by philate li sts, and it is probabl y accurate to say th at these stamps were th e most popular in th e world a mongst serious collectors at the tu rn of th e 20th ce ntury. T he " Laureates" we re a lso hand-engraved plates , and re-engravings were need ed of the 2d (twice) and 6d plates. Even as the "Laureates" were be in g prepared and issu ed, arrangements were being made for the production of engraved stamps by Perkins, Bacon & Co. in London. These were the " Diad e ms" , and their interest is e nhan ced by the fact that a ll printings were made in the colony. The first issues of New So uth Wales have always he ld a fascination, and been th e most popular of Austra lian issues , for th e great collectors. There remain four major perm a ne nt co llections still intact. These are the H. L. White and A. A. Vick e ry co llections, both in Sydney museums , the Tapling Collection in the British Library, and the Ro ya l Philatelic Co ll ection. The Tapling and White Co ll ections were both completed by 1910. However , the Vickery and Royal Co ll ections include mu c h material from the Fe rrary and Arthur Hind Co ll ec tions. Later famous co ll ectors who have formed important co ll ections of New South Wa les include Pack, Caspary , Burrus, Dal e/ Lichtenstein , Lilly and Boker. The most notable of the specialized New South Wales co llec tors have been George Ginge r , john Hutson and W.R.D. Wiggins in the U.K., and Theodore Steinway in U.S.A. The " Manwood" collection is replete with material from all these sources and represents the finest collection of imperforate New South Wales that is possible today. The collection is particularly strong in unused multiples, and in this regard contains almost all the significant items that are still available. The covers includ e important sections of " mixed issue" frankings and of the interchangeable use of "Sydney Views" with Victoria 's "Half-Length " stamps. The collection also contain s what is universally considered to be the most important, and most valuab le, item of Austra las ian philately. This is the vertica l tete-beche pair of the 2d Sydney View used on cover. This is the only such pair known, and proves that th e stamps were produced by a " print a nd turn" techniq u e on large sheets of paper. The cover, discovered in 1903, is further e nh a nced b y being addressed to Charles Latrobe , th e then Superinte ndent of the Port Phillip District (and following political separat ion, the first Governor of Victoria). The cover at first graced the New South Wales co ll ection of Harvey Clarke, and later passed into the co llection of Australi a n rarities formed by Louis Mein e rtzhagen. In 1941 it was acquired by Alfred F. Lichtenstein , and o nly r eappeared on the market with the dispersal of the Dale/ Lichtenstein Austra li ans in 1990. This unique piece is hard to surpass for its spectacular nature and its d ee p technical interest. Geoffrey Kellow
