WHO IS BLOGGER FRANK?
Frank's avatar
As I explained HERE,
I found these web pages in 2009, and saved them in case their creator ever
stopped
supporting them.
That seems to have happened. I tried to reach him at the
e-dress on his pages, but got no reply.
IF YOU ARE BLOGGER FRANK, or know how to reach him, please contact me at
7/27/17 - I received the following email from
Nick Follansbee,
stamp dealer, expert on the stamps of Mexico, and a
dedicated poster stamp collector:
I was very happy to find your archived version of Frank's poster stamp blog
which I assumed had been lost forever. Thank you!
The material shown is from the great collection of Hugo-Heinz Welder which was
bought by Frank and Britta Perschke about a dozen years ago. Some of
these items are unique or nearly so. This is especially true of the artist
promotion stamps of Hollerbaum & Schmidt of which there were two series. The
second series is not so rare and stamps from it often sell in the $25-$35 range,
but the first series is extremely rare and the imperforate ones are believed to
be unique, as is also the case with the perforated Klinger with the devil
drilling the head - a great classic.
Welder was actively collecting in the 1960s and died around 2005. His passion
was the work of the great German commercial artists, and he did a lot of
pioneering work in attributing. His chief collegues and rivals were Hans Koenig
(collection now in a museum), Alfons Brunner (collection bought by Kiddle),
Peter-Hannes Lehmann (collection sold to Kiddle), Manfred Zollickhofer
(collection bought by Kiddle). Hateau was
another (I'm not sure of the spelling, here). Anyway, these five collectors were
the pioneer researchers, and Charles Kiddle built mightily on that foundation to
produce his marvelous catalogues.
Frank Perschke's choices of artists to feature in his blog were usually apt -
Bernhard, Klinger, Scheurich were obvious. It seemed to me that Erdt and maybe
Gipkens were also treated in the original blog. Welder's collection of those two
was superlative. The showing of Rumpf is pretty impressive. A few of the others
were less impressive than some of the outstanding material not included in the
blog. But overall it is stunning.
Thanks, Nick!
I have bought poster stamps from the
Perschkes
(dba "papierundpappe" and "reklamemarken" on eBay), but failed to make the
connection when I saw these pages. I have emailed then to ask
why they dropped the blog, and see if they would like to
contribute additional material.
