Copied from the RPSL website: The Royal Philatelic Society London is delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of Douglas Muir and Pragya Jain’s philatelic work. Indian philately was something the King-Emperor George V took a keen personal interest in. The transition of stamp design and production from the familiar origins with the firm of De La Rue and Co. in London to the creation of the Security Printing Press in India is a process that the King-Emperor would have followed personally. The King-Emperor’s Stamps 1910–1936 tells that story in detail for the first time and represents a significant contribution to our knowledge of Indian philately.
