520 _a"The Die Varieties of the Nesbitt Series of United States Envelopes" by Victor M. Berthold is a detailed philatelic guide published in the early 20th century. This work meticulously explores the various die varieties of the Nesbitt series of envelopes that were issued in the United States during the mid-19th century. It aims to provide collectors with in-depth information about the intricacies of these envelopes, including their designs, discrepancies, and the underlying historical significance of their production. The opening portion introduces the subject matter, expressing surprise at the lack of comprehensive knowledge surrounding these die varieties despite their historical significance and the enthusiasm of envelope collectors. Berthold highlights the evolution of the Nesbitt dies, emphasizing the complexity involved in their identification due to variations in engravings. He discusses the efforts made by previous collectors and scholars, the existing confusion, and his intention to clarify the classification of these collectibles through practical methods and consistent terminology. The text serves not only as a catalog but as a resource for both novice and experienced philatelists, encouraging them to navigate the fascinating world of early American stamped envelopes with confidence.
