1872/1880: Collection of the interesting 'Paris-Bucharest & Pearls' issues containing unused, used and covers, together with a nice selection of proofs, arranged neatly in a Lidner album, with an interest for the postmarks. Noted is a page containing 36 mostly Bucharest proofs, some unused blocks of four of 1½ b. (2x), 3 b. 'Paris', a block of six of 5 b. green, and also a few pairs and strips. A few better covers, for example a domestic franked with five  examples of 3 b. 'Paris', a couple with reduced cross border 15 b. rate, a 75 bani (50 b.+25 b.) pre-UPU rate to France, a double rate domestic cover with 15 b. Bucharest, and a mixed 10 b. red 'Bucharest' with a 15 b. 'Pearls' on a cover sent to the US, an unusual destination for the period. A good lot to start a specialised collection of these fascinating issues.
