Glasgow" vignette error, primarily consisting of two one-frame exhibits (16 pages each), the first contains covers or post cards (14 items) all posted aboard German warships that were involved in this historic December 8, 1914 battle, all were posted prior to the battle while touring the Pacific, two of the covers are from German P.O.W.'s held in Chile after the battle, the second one-fame exhibit consists of 14 covers posted on British warships involved in the battle, while all of the German ships were destroyed, with the exception of the Dresden, only two British ships were lost, among these covers is an exceptional early 1915 cover front addressed to a sailor aboard the H.M.S. Good Hope, which was one of the two ships lost in the battle, bearing a violet boxed "SHIP LOST" handstamp; the two exhibits are accompanied by a few dozen post cards, photographs, maps, duplicate covers and later Falkland Island stamps and FDC's commemorating the battle; all-in-all a marvelous study which took Mr. Prappas years to assemble.
