John Easton (16 February 1895〔Bateman, Robert. ''Stamp Collectors' Who's Who''. London: Stanley Gibbons Ltd., 1960, p.32.〕 - 1967〔Profile at (''Who Was Who in British Philately'' ) Retrieved 29 March 2011.〕) was a printer and philatelic author who signed the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists in 1960. ==Works== Easton wrote ''The De La Rue History of British and Foreign Postage Stamps 1855-1901'' for which he received the Crawford Medal from the Royal Philatelic Society London in 1958, and with Arnold M. Strange he edited ''Perkins Bacon Records'' based on the work of Percy de Worms. The London printing works of De La Rue were destroyed on the night of 29 December 1940 during a World War II air raid.〔Easton, John, ''The De la Rue History of British and Foreign Postage Stamps 1855 to 1901'', Faber & Faber Ltd., London, 1958, Introduction, p.xi.〕 The Day Books and Correspondence Books of the firm survived however and after the war the Royal Philatelic Society London was granted access to the records in order to compile a philatelic history of the first fifty years of De La Rue. John Easton, with assistance from the firm, converted those records into ''The De la Rue History of British and Foreign Postage Stamps 1855 to 1901'' with each transaction at the firm described in the order in which it was entered in the company's books. His work has become an essential reference for philatelists interested in stamps of the nineteenth century. His re-working of Melville's ''Postage Stamps in the Making'', however, has been criticised for containing serious errors in describing processes.〔(Presentation by Dr Geoffrey Eibl-Kaye FRPSL to The Royal Philatelic Society London 13 November 2008. )〕
