Paper Chase - The Amenities of Stamp Collecting
Alvin F. Harlow, 1940
"An informal open-air postage stamp exchange had begun in London about 1860 in Change Alley, 'leading out of Birchin Lane.' There in those long English twilights from spring to autumn, one saw every evening 'at least fifty boys and some men, too,' as a shocked reporter chronicled, buying, selling, but mostly swapping stamps, even as you may see curbstone traders dealing in diamonds today on the sidewalk in Maiden Lane and a certain spot on the Bowery in New York. Rapidly the situation grew even worse; young ladies, 'album in hand,' were seen there, and whisper it actually 'one of Her Majesty's Ministers'."
