POSTAL HISTORY OF THE DODECANESE ISLANDS
Vol.I - CIVIL POST
Catalogue with cancellations and their point valuations enclosed
The volume deals with the postal history of the Dodecanese Islands, giving also a full historical background, from its beginning to the passage to Greek administration in 1947. The authors present the result of twenty years of research, and a sum of all the literature on the subject.
There are specific tables with the reproduction and description of every cancellation known (some hundreds), which are also shown in a booklet enclosed, with their point valuations. Many details and cancellations never recorded before.
The present first volume is devoted to the civil post, whereas the second one to military post and occupations. The two books together form the most important and updated postal-historical work about an old Italian possession.
