In the period at which it was formed the famous Avery Collection was second only to that of the Tapling Collection of Stamps in Great Britain. It has much in common with the great collection which now reposes in the British Museum, in that it is a vast, comprehensive, general collection of the stamps of the entire world, and it covers exactly the same period — from the beginning until 1890.
