POSTAL HISTORY OF CORSICA

Reference work to get closer to Corsican postal history, divided into history and catalogue, from its origins to 1960.

In the first volume, in addition to a historical overview of the island, the history of the Post Office in chronological order with a first pre-philatelic period and a second philatelic one, with its sometimes complex mechanisms before the adoption of postage stamps in 1849, often identical to the continental ones, but with particularities due to its insularity.

The second volume is a catalogue of all postmarks and cachets divided by office in alphabetical order, with tables showing all the data (including known extreme dates of use), and rarity scale in euros.

To complete this, a rich historical and philatelic bibliography and office indexes divided also by period.
