STUDY OF ESSAYS, PROOFS AND POSTAGE STAMPS OF THE ESTE DUCHY

With a preface by Thomas Mathà and His Imperial and Royal Highness, Archduke, Duke of Modena, Reggio, Guastalla, Galicia and Lodomeria, Martino of Austria-Este

The Author has devoted almost all his collecting life to the study of the postage stamps of Modena, that means of the Este Duchy.

The work, accompanied by several hundreds of images, is the result of his researches and deepening concerning the whole genesis of the Este postage stamps, including also the essays and the proofs necessary to create the first examples of the postage stamps of Modena.

The reader finds, therefore, a rich and exhaustive compendium of official news, facts and historical and technical events about Modena philately, rebuilding this way an important frame of it.
