Global InformationGeorges Henri Kaestlin information
Georges Henri Kaestlin (1892 – 18 February 1981) was a banker who formed a leading collection of Russian Imperial and Zemstvo stamps after he and his family were forced to leave Russia following the 1917 revolution. His collection was donated to the Smithsonian Museum in 1984 following his wish that it not be dispersed as other important collections had been.
