A. M. Tracey Woodward

Alphonse Marie Tracey Woodward (Réunion, 1876 - 1938)[1] was a philatelist who was a specialist in the stamps of Japan. In 1929, he was awarded the Crawford Medal by the Royal Philatelic Society London for his work The postage stamps of Japan and dependencies.[2] He was also awarded the Lindenberg Medal.[1]

The Japan collection of F.J. Peplow was acquired by Woodward after Peplow's death.[3]

Woodward died on board ship on his way home from Shanghai.[1] His collection of Japanese stamps was subsequently sold by H.R. Harmer in 1939.[1]

gollark: But it lets you operate on functions really nicely.
gollark: In an array language, this is the natural representation.
gollark: See, mathematically, a function is just a specific type of set of ordered pairs.
