These are neat. Produced by "The Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department" to commemorate the first 100 years of Indian stamps. One-sided pages with color images of the stamps. I don't know whether these were just supposed to be informational or used as stamp albums.

Leather bound, with gold embossing.

I disassembled one in order to be able to image all of the pages.

Images of all pages below.

That's really cool. Reminds me of the Roosevelt reprint proof albums in concept and layout. Thanks for posting!

Also, having been a paleontologist in an earlier life, I still really admire the Stegodon stamp.
