Charles Viner
Charles William Viner A.M., Ph.D., (1812〔Birch, Brian. ''Biographies of Philatelists and Dealers''. 9th edition. Standish, Wigan: 2008, p.1468.〕 – 14 March 1906〔London Philatelist Vol. 116 p. 141〕) was a British philatelist who was a founding member of the ''Philatelic Society, London'', later to become the Royal Philatelic Society London, and who was present at the initial meeting of the society on 10 April 1869, and serving as its Secretary from 1871 to 1874. His obituary in ''The London Philatelist〔London Philatelist Vol. 15 1905 pp 88-89〕'' referred to him as the "Father of Philately" and elsewhere he was described as the ''vieille garde'' (old guard) of philately having been actively collecting and writing about stamps since 1860.〔"The Death of Dr. Viner" in ''The London Philatelist'', Vol. XV, No.172, April 1906, pp. 88-89.〕 In 1921 he was entered on the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists as one of the founding ''Fathers of philately''.
==Early days==
According to Fred Melville, Viner first became interested in stamp collecting in about 1855 when a lady friend asked him to help her compile a chart representative of the stamps of the world, but Viner did not start his own collection until 1860. However, he noted in 1882〔Stamp News, October 1882, Volume 1, Issue 9/10 pp 79-80〕 that he saw his first collection in 1854 which was based on an earlier collection owned by someone called Scales. Viner was quoted as saying in 1889: ''"I remember counting my stamps with much glee when they reached a hundred."'' and ''"I saw some collections with two or three hundred and heard of one with five hundred. Cancelled specimens were principally seen; but I can recall one collection rich in unused Naples, Sicily, Tuscany and other Italian States purchased at their several post-offices by a young traveller."''〔Melville, Fred J. ''Chats on Postage Stamps''. London: T. Fisher Unwin Ltd., 1920, pp. 117-118.〕
