THE EGYPTIAN MARITIME POSTAL HISTORY
1845-1899
LA POSTE MARITIME EN EGYPTE
1845-1889

Published on the occasion of Monacophil 2019
106 pp. - colour and b/w ill. - cloth-bound with gold inscriptions and colour cover - printed 2019
English and French text

This book gives us a comprehensive and unprecedented historical overview of Egyptian maritime navigation.

Because of its unique location, Egypt has historically been the crossing point of trading and mail routes. Its sea costs stretch a distance of 2.900 km, 1.931 km of which overlook the Red Sea shores and the rest of the Mediterranean. This direct access by sea to both the Est and West, along with the centrality of its location, gave the control of Egypt immense strategic importance.

The author not only names and lists documents, many of which are highly rare, but also places us in the historical context.
His perfect mastery of the various languages in which the Egyptian archive documents have been preserved, enables us to immerse ourselves in the vision of the Egyptians when they were faced with the all-powerful European society during the 19th century. As a result, the shipping companies responsible for transporting mail suffered ups and downs due to the political context and power struggles.

More than a publication about sea mail, this history book takes us back to Egypt during the time of the viceroys and the 19th century, at a time when the Western world is showing a growing interest in rediscovering the traces of an ancient civilisation.

MAIL ACROSS THE OCEANS
From the beginning to 1875
LA CORRESPONDANCE À TRAVERS LES OCÉANS
Des origines jusqu'à 1875

Published on the occasion of Monacophil 2019
608 pp. - colour and b/w ill. - cloth-bound with gold inscriptions and colour cover - printed 2019
English and French text

This work is intended to serve as a practical handbook covering all the different packet ship lines, with a short description of each line, a map showing the routes (missing from many studies), the name of the ships used by the lines (often found in letters) and, finally, an overview of the specific stamps that appear on letters transported via these lines.

The study is divided into five parts: the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the letters which have travelled through two or three Oceans, a theme that has, until now, been less widely known and rarely covered. It includes connection routes overland via Suez and Panama.

Each Ocean part is subdivided into two parts: the first dealing with sailing packets from ca. 1674 to 1840; the second with steam packets from 1840 to 1875.
The sailing and packet lines are classified in chronological order.
Rates and ports are not discussed.

Images of the original English broadsheets (postal notes) concerning the packet lines are illustrated, as well as service orders and newspaper advertisement from Belgium, France, Germany and other countries.

LETTRES DE LA GRANDE ARMÉE
Histoire de l'organisation des postes au sein de la plus Grande Armée du XIX siècle
1805-1814
LETTERS OF THE GRANDE ARMÉE
The history of the mail organization inside the Greatest Army of the XIX century
1805-1814

Published on the occasion of Monacophil 2022
144 pp. - colour and b/w ill. - cloth-bound with gold inscriptions and colour cover - printed 2022
English and French text

This book should be a window on the epic Napoleonic world that is opened to its readers and testified to by authentic letters from its real protagonists.

Letters sent by soldiers to their parents or wives provide us with an insight into their lives.
We learn how both common soldiers and high-ranking officers continuously travelled the roads, as long as the fighting continued, looking for basic essentials, such as something to eat or a place to sleep.

The author has focused on the highly original theme of mail sent by the second Grande Armée, which was created for the Russian campaign.
This period was characterised by increasing difficulties affecting the organisation of postal services and losses suffered by the serviceman responsible for carrying mail who were hounded by the Cossacks.

The study concludes with an exhaustive list of all the postmarks used by the 2nd Grande Armée.

CONTENTS

* Preface of the President of the Club de Monte-Carlo
* Foreword of the author

* The First Grande Armée 1805-1808
* The Second Grande Armée 1812-1814
* Handstamps for allowance
* List of the postmarks of the Second Grande Armée

SERIE LEONI
Studio delle tirature

160 pp. - colour ill. - softbound - printed 2023

LEONI SERIES
Study of print runs

This volume deals with the method of printing "typographic" postage stamps with royal effigy, starting from the first series of the Kingdom, up to the dawn of rotogravure printing, in particular the Leoni series.
Relevance was given to the plate numbers, through which the chronological reconstruction of the different print runs that followed one another in approximately a quarter of a century becomes possible.

Research conducted with a scientific method and adequately in-depth allows us to compare the results and verify the validity of the hypotheses made following the analysis of large quantities of specimens and historical sources.

The aim is to collect, in a single text, as much information as possible on the topic of Italian typographic postage stamps and, at the same time, make readers participate in this research, show the new evidence found and provide tools and methods to those who wish to undertake or deepen the study of this branch of philately.
CONTENTS

* The authors
* Preface

* FIRST PART - PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES
* Typographical stamps with royal effigy
* Umberto I
* Letterpress printing procedures in France
* King Victor Emmanuel III

* SECOND PART - THE «LEONI»
* Nestore Leoni

* The colour over the years
* The pigments
* The plates
* The size of the impression
* The transfer varieties
* Variety of printing
* The other varieties of Leoni
