Geschiedenis
Philatelist Robson Lowe (1905-1997) founded the Regent Stamp Company and subsidiary Robson Lowe Limited, a leading stamp auction house. Robson Lowe Limited was taken over by Christie's, the fine art auction house, in 1980.
In the 1970s Robson Lowe persuaded the Corsini family to sell their archive of correspondence, which contained letters of great importance for postal history. He personally worked on them until their sale at Christie's in the 1980s.
