Sarawak: The First Forty Years 1858-1898
On 17 December, we received the following news from the Museum of Philately:
In honor of our Museum President, we are delighted to announce the publication of a book presenting the Simon Martin-Redman’s acclaimed Grand Prix Collection of Sarawak. Sponsored by the David Feldman Company, this exceptional publication—an extraordinary exception for us as a primarily virtual entity—was officially launched at Monacophil on December 5th, with a presentation by the Club de Monte Carlo’s esteemed past President, Patrick Maselis.
This publication is now available for purchase on the Royal Philatelic Society London’s website.
Over the last two decades, Simon Martin-Redman has become one of the most prominent and active figures in the world of philately. Starting with a personal passion for building his own collections, he has rapidly ascended to become a celebrated and rising star in the philatelic galaxy. Currently serving as Vice President of the Royal Philatelic Society London, he is also a Past President of the Sarawak Specialists’ Society and a member of the European Academy of Philately, the Collectors Club of New York, the United Postal Stationery Society, and the Society of Postal Historians. A distinguished keynote speaker, he recently delivered the prestigious Annual ‘Stuart Rossiter Lecture’ on postal history.
His philatelic expertise has focused on Sarawak, where his collections have achieved multiple Large Gold medals, including the International Grand Prix for his traditional collection-a crowning achievement that granted him membership of the Grand Prix Club. He later received the Rowland Hill Medal for this collection, presented at Monacophil 2022.
His dedication to philatelic events and initiatives has led to invitations to join the Board of the Club de Monte Carlo and, most notably, to become the inaugural President of the Museum of Philately. To honour this appointment, the Museum has undertaken this special publication of his highly esteemed Grand Prix Collection of Sarawak. This book is expected to be a valuable addition to the libraries of specialists and enthusiasts eager to deepen their knowledge of this fascinating region.
