ITALY IN EAST AFRICA
HISTORY, MAIL, PHILATELY
OFFER 4 BOOKS TOGETHER - LUXURY EDITION
Volume I + II and CATALOGUE OF POSTMARKS ed. I + II

The text represents a complete work about the Italian presence in East Africa from the point of view of post and of philately. It is conceived in two separate volumes with, enclosed in the second volume, the first edition of postmarks catalogue, and now the second edition of the catalogue.

Accompanied by a rich iconographical background (postal documents, maps, views, people), every volume presents, besides a historical-descriptive part: offices of military and civil mail (included some unrealised), rates, postmark (all numbered, divided into chapters and in alphabetical order), postage stamps, postcards, postal traffic, forwarding routes.

In the second volume, at work conclusion, a rich annotated bibliography, an abstract in English and a complete analytical index of the two volumes.

The first volume is about pre-imperial Italian East Africa; nevertheless, the chapters about Eritrea and Somalia are developed up to 1941.
The second volume deals with the War of Ethiopia, the Italian Empire, the second war and the immediate postwar period in those territories.
