SUPPLEMENT TO THE ARMAND E. SINGER TIBET 1809-1975 by Armand E. Singer, 1998
Softbound, 55 pages, all in color
A sumptuous and highly enjoyable tour of the far reaches of Tibetan philately, that gives free reign to a master exhibitor's eclectic and playful tastes. This supplement follows the same format as the parent volume: photocopies (now all in full color) of pages from Singer's unparalleled collection, again replete with annotations and indexed, covering exceptional items that did not appear in the original work, and venturing even farther from the beaten track.
Included are 19 pages of Tibetan seals, showing:
  • A 1799 Amban cover
  • Seals of Regents to Dalai Lamas, the Sakya Lama, and more;
  • The 1974 Eustis government-in-exile set
  • The mysterious 1911 Chinese Occupation "Specimen" overprints
  • The British Presence in Tibet (10 pp.) including a Younghusband Expedition medal, the F.P.O. No. 82 cancel of 1904 and the F.P.O. No. 87 cancel on 1904 cover, both believed unique, the Yatung F.P.O. No. 70 postmark, one of two recorded, and more;
  • Tibet native stamps and postal history (20 pp.), notably the unique 1912 ½ trangka gray lilac shiny enamel paint sheet, ex-Roosevelt,
  • Dechen "floreal" cancels on cover with 1912 set franking,
  • Newly-discovered second example of the 1914 eight Trangka on commercial cover, and many other major and minor delights.

Highly recommended to anyone who wishes to see a great collection of the most exotic country in the world.
