The Royal Philatelic Society London presents Grace Davies FRPSL and her extensive collection on the theme of Peace.
Grace started her collection on Peace from zero, and by chance, in 1985. Over the years the collection has grown, changed and matured, but creating it has always been a rather random and very personal process. This is largely because apart from moral support from fellow collectors there have been few sources of help on what material to look for and how to find it. This improved with membership of the RPSL.
What Grace discovered over the years is that Peace is a broad subject and there is a wide variety of philatelic material to illustrate it. Her display cannot include all aspects, but it aims to give as wide an overview as possible, including post-war material, Peace as a name, Peace associated with other ideas and Alfred Nobel and the Peace Laureates. Her display included four small exhibits (a total of five frames) but the main collection is ‘freestyle’, still handwritten on Senator Standard paper, and it follows no rules. She deliberately uses as wide a variety of material as possible to interest all viewers who might not be too keen on thematic collections.
