One of the joys of the auction experience is viewing a collection where the personality of the collector shines through in a positive way. The Hamlet collection was built slowly, like a pastime, by a father and son together. They built their collection carefully, from Aden to Zanzibar, and laid out and prepared each page by hand. And each had a distinctive style which we show here. The hobby which the two shared was not graced with a large budget but there were consistent and common standards of for colour, hinging, centering and quality.
