Denmark and Danish West Indies Stamps -- The Hagemann Series G.A. Hagemann was a philatelic pioneer who shaped the early 20th Century of Danish and DWI philately. Hagemann was an avid philatelist and researcher who managed to obtain special access to archival records and stamps, including full sheets of most all the bicolor printings, etc. His studies formed the basis of all subsequent work and his documentation of the printings and sheets was invaluable. Hagemann's 1940-1951 volumes are superb philatelic literature, especially considering the war-time conditions under which two of them were produced. Danish text. Naturally all copies are in varying degrees of used condition.
