- Summary
The daughter of Alfred Lichtenstein, philately was bred in Louise Boyd Dale’s veins. By the time she was fourteen she had delivered a lecture on the Bordeaux stamp issues of France to the prestigious Collectors Club of New York. She went on to become an internationally renowned philatelist in her own right, and like her father before her, was invited to sign the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists. She inherited her father’s collection on his death in 1947. She added no ‘Post Office’ stamps to the collection, which had no need of them, but did retain the Mauritius portion and improved it.
