It is not often that the government cele-
brates the fact that 1t is peopled with con-
victs. and advertises the same by placing
an allegorical reference to II on fits stamps
which go to the four quarters of the
world. But there is scarcely a stamp
collector In the world who does not know
and perhaps have in his collection Sc
ries of the famous Sidney Views" Like
the famous triangular Cape of Good Hope
stamps that were the delight of the phila-
telist, the sidney Views have entered
almost every collection, and are today the
most counterfeited and forged of all
stamps.
The name of Sidney Views is given to
the stamps on account of the fact that
they carry on their face a crude view of
the city of Sidney. New South Wales. In
the foreground there are a number of ale
gorical figures and a Latin motto. It is
these categorical figures that constituted
the chief interest of the stamps.
Seated on a chair is the figure of In
dustry, with extended hands, welcoming
the new arrivals from the ships that lie
in the harbor. These new arrivals are con-
victs sentenced to exile in Botany Bay for
crimes in the Old Country. Around them
are bales of goods, various agricultural
implements and so on. Industry is sup
posed to be releasing the repentant con-
victs from their letters and welcoming
them TO Wnere the oxen are proving the
fields of the new colony.
Under the magnificent picture are the
words "Sic Forts Etruria Crevit''
C'Thus Grew Mighty Etruria"), and
around the whole is the legend, "Sigillum
Nov Camb. Aust" which means Seal of
New Wales, Australia"
The value of these stamps range from
SO to $50 each where their authenticity is
unquestioned. But the trouble is that
y,,Ost Of the stamps of this kind that are
on the market today are forgeries, and
collectors are shy in purchasing unless
they can secure a history with each
stamp.
