History
TAPLING, Thomas Keay MP 1855-91. Educated Harrow. Head of Thomas Tapling & Co, carpet and Manchester warehousemen, Gresham St. London. Vice-President Philatelic Society, London (RPSL). Contributor to Philatelic Record. Plated the first 4d stamp of Tasmania. Contributed, with FA Philbrick, on New South Wales, in the Society's volume on the British Colonies of Oceania, 1887. His world collection of stamps and postal stationery, substantially augmented by his purchase of the WE Image collection in 1882, was valued at £50,000 when bequeathed to the British Museum. ED Bacon spent eight years arranging it for display in the King's Library. The Tapling Medal, in silver, instituted in his memory by RPSL, was first awarded in 1920. The collection is now in the British Library.
