Classic Swiss philately merges historic and material values as nearly no other collectible hobby. Stamps recount Swiss history much as a time traveller might do; from the independent Cantonal states to the Federation period and the creation of the modern state of Switzerland. With this newly designed, fully illustrated pre-printed album, the pages detail the story of the classic early stamp issues of Switzerland up until 1881.
