Harold Treherne (Born about 1884) of Brighton, England, was a stamp forger notable for his forgeries of the stamps of India and Australia who was known as ''The Brighton forger'' and his works as ''Brighton forgeries''.〔Tyler, Varro E. ''Philatelic Forgers: Their Lives and Works.'' Revised edition. Sidney, Ohio: Linn's Stamp News, 1991, pp.140-141. ISBN 0-940403-37-4〕 ==First forgeries== Treherne appears to have entered the forgery business about 1902 or slightly earlier when he was working as a clerk in Brighton. He would have been aged about 18 in 1902.〔 Treherne at first produced only fake overprints and surcharges, or imperforate whole stamps as he lacked perforating or rouletting equipment and the overprints and surcharges only required simple printing in black ink. Later he moved on to more sophisticated forgeries.〔 The ''Excelsior Traders' Supply Company'' in London supplied Treherne with a large number of zinc cliches and printing plates including overprints, surcharges and complete stamps.〔 Treherne also had a contact in India, a Mr Thomas Hill in Bombay, who supplied him with genuine used Indian stamps to which fake overprints were applied and which were returned in lots of 1000 of a kind for sale in India. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harold Treherne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
