Spectral library chronicles chemical evolution of Italian stamps Using spectral analysis, the team have assembled a database charting the evolution of the stamps' materials in this phase of Italian postal history. With the aid of such a chronological library collectors can date any stamp from this period and detect counterfeits. |
