History
CRAWFORD and BALCARRES, Earl of, KT FRS 1847-1913. Started collecting about 1900. His holding of Italian States was later the foundation of the famous Alphonse Rothschild collection. President RPSL 1910-13. Most of his stamps had been sold prior to his death, but he still had 100 volumes of Great Britain and USA. His article on Benjamin Cheverton, an entrant in the Treasury Competition of 1839, was reprinted from the London Philatelist in 1910. His magnificent philatelic library, catalogued by ED Bacon, was bequeathed to the nation, except for duplicate items given to RPSL. The Crawford Medal, silver-gilt, instituted in his memory by RPSL, was first awarded in 1920. The British Library now holds his collection of philatelic literature.
