John Wilson (philatelist) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sir John Wilson, 2nd Baronet
Sir John Mitchell Harvey Wilson, 2nd Baronet (10 October 1898〔Bateman, Robert. ''Stamp collectors' who's who''. London: Stanley Gibbons, 1960, p. 94.〕 – 6 February 1975〔) was a British philatelist and Keeper of the Royal Philatelic Collection from 1938 to 1969. He introduced the division of the collection by reign and, after World War II, loans from the collection to international exhibitions. ==Early life== John Wilson was the second Baronet in his family, the title having been received by his father for his contribution to Scottish agriculture. John inherited an estate near Glasgow.〔Nicholas Courtney (2004). ''The Queen's Stamps'', pages 250–257.〕 While serving in the Coldstream Guards during the last months of Great War, he was hospitalised in Stirling, Scotland where he first became interested in stamp collecting after his father brought his own collection to help his son pass the time.〔 After the war he was a barrister but retired in the early 1930s to manage his philatelic collection and estate full-time. Generally, he specialised in small countries or in short philatelic periods of a country, studied it, then sold the collection to begin another one.〔
