History
IMAGE, William Edmund FRCS DL JP 1807-1903. Began a general collection in 1859, which he eventually sold to TK Tapling in 1882 for £3000. It was strong in British Guiana, Australia, Mauritius, USA, Philippines, locals, and unused Europe. The Mauritius, however, lacked the two 'Post Office' stamps, Image having declined to buy examples that JB Moens had offered him for £240. The collection was more comprehensive than Tapling's, who at first considered disposing of his own, but fortunately for the nation decided to retain both. In 1886 Image gave his books on philately to RPSL, a valuable contribution to the founding of the Society's library.
