Hard to choose. I love the French engraving, but the London story, especially the history of Royal Albert Hall, captivated me.

Thanks for your kind comments, Dave ( daveg28). I am very pleased that you enjoyed the article.... the Royal Albert Hall was a real highlight of our visit. By the way, since that visit, we have now booked tickets to see a show there in March 2022, and we are really looking forward to that.  |

I found the article on Samoa particularly interesting since it features in Arthur Grimble's Pattern of Islands which i have been re-reading recently. I originally read it as a school set book many moons ago.

This was a tough call, all of the articles were excellent. I was naturally attracted to the "Beauty of the French" as a French collector but my vote goes to "Samoa's Transition: 1840 -2000" By Alex Walker (vikingeck). Alex assembled a superb historical article. The layout and writing were excellent all around.

Thanks to all authors for some interesting reads. I had a hard time to choose, but settled for the Samoa article where I learnt a lot.
