My late father George
Cohen having enjoyed postage stamp collecting for a number of years, came up
with this very different idea, having realised how his friend the late Richard
Hillman could paint such wonderfully detailed paintings.
Richard had painted,
just for fun, a copy of one of Dad's mounted stamps so perfectly, that it was
only when one tried to lift a corner that one discovered that it was not a real
stamp!
He used at times, a
single haired brush to achieve the finest of detail.
See The First Ideas and
The
Planning of
this Album
Richard and George in
due course created some wonderful stamp album collections, Such as 'The
Coronation Series', The 1935 Silver Jubilee Series', Egypt and several
others.
Later, together
with my late mother Betty Cohen (around 1948 when I was eight years old),
they worked on ideas for this album 'Postage Stamps for Little People' that was
dedicated to me. The collected stamps would complete the pictures.
There is a Pathe
Pictorial video (from 1956) still available that shows some of
the Albums including this one, here is a link to it: -
