Gambia

This is a history book. In collecting the stamps of Gambia one cannot too strongly emphasise the necessity for guarding the stamps of the 'Cameo' series against deterioration by the pressure of the leaves in an ordinary unprotected album. In their pristine state with clear and bold embossing these stamps are of exceptional grace and beauty. Sunk mounts or other similar contrivances, and a liberal use of tissue paper, should be utilised by the collector who desires to retain his specimens in their original state.
