Lieut. Colonel George S. F. Napier (c. 1862 – 29 January 1942)〔"Obituaries" in ''The London Philatelist'', Vol. LI, February 1942, No. 602, p. 32.〕 was a British Army officer of the 52nd Oxfordshire Light Infantry.〔"Deaths" in ''The Times'', 31 January 1942, p. 1, Issue 49148.〕 Napier was also a noted philatelist, who was a specialist in the stamps of Brazil. In 1924 he was awarded the Crawford Medal by the Royal Philatelic Society London for his work ''The stamps of the first issue of Brazil''.〔''The Society's medals and honorary fellowship''. The Royal Philatelic Society London, 2009, p. 2.〕 Napier's classification of the Bull's Eyes contained errors, but has largely survived to this day as the most widely used system for describing the issue.〔("The Philately of the Empire of Brazil" ) in ''Empire of Brazil: The Meyer Collection'', auction catalogue, David Feldman, Geneva, 2007, p. 6. (Archived here. )〕 Napier was also knowledgeable about the stamps of Persia, North Borneo and Liberia. He compiled an index of the fourteen catalogues from the sale of the Ferrary collection.〔 ==Selected publications== *''The stamps of the first issue of Brazil''.
