	British Guiana
		British Guiana was the name of the British colony on the northern coast of South America, now the independent nation of Guyana.
		The area was originally settled by the Dutch as the colonies of Berbice[?], Demerara[?], and Essequibo[?], then captured by the British in 1796 and officially ceded in 1814, and consolidated into a single colony in 1831.
		The numbers were apparently insufficient, and in 1856 the postmaster had new 1c and 4c issues printed locally, crudely typeset and imitating the design of the London stamps, motto and all.

		There had been at least two unsuccessful attempts by the British to colonize the lands that would later be known as British Guiana during the 17th century, when the Dutch had established two colonies in the area: Essequibo, administered by the Dutch West India Company, and Berbice, administered by the Berbice Association.
		A British expeditionary force was dispatched from its colony of Barbados to seize the colonies from the French-dominated Batavian Republic.
		The British Government in 1900 replied that the issue was already settled by the long acceptance of the Kutari as the boundary.

		He is most famous for "discovering" a possible second British Guiana 1c Magenta, which was eventually declared an altered example of a damaged 4c magenta following expert examination by the Royal Philatelic Society of London (see Linn's article 26 April 1999 and related articles).
		Some of the reproductions were determined to have been made not from the stamps themselves but from copyright photographs which Winter had obtained from the British Library in London by means of a false declaration of intended use.
		As only about 60 of the forgeries produced were from the British Library's photographs, this left around 120 forgeries which could still be marketed by the company.
