That's an Auction Catalogue Gerry.

Here is a "catalogue" if you wish to call it that,

The curious thing is, when it was printed,
the word "Philately" was still unknown to the world.
It was yet to be coined by the Frenchman Georges Herpin.

Query with above,
how can you have "answers to correspondents" on a first issue?
I then presume it must be issue 1 of feb
Anyone know when this magazine began?

Online web searches find volumes of this magazine (since it is out of copyright). The 1871 issue was said to be its ninth volume. Assuming one volume per year, that would mean the publication started in 1862, so the image you scanned may have been from Vol. 2, No. 1, which would help to explain the "answers to correspondents" question.

You're getting a reputation here wt1,
a very good one! :)

Thanks.

thanks for the heads up rod didn't know their was different types of catalogues, I know now and learning all the time.

Gerry,
don't know about others here, but I collect auction catalogues,
Auction Catalogues from the major philatelic centres
and auction houses around the globe, offer fantastic
chances to see images of stamps we otherwise would never see.

Some of the stamps in the rarified atmosphere of huge
prices, are shown via image, are described, have a
start bid price etc. Magic stuff for the rank and file collector.
Oftentimes the rarer issues are shown on cover too.
