HISTORY OF POSTAL COMMUNICATION IN THE ISLE OF SARDINIA
Catalogue and valuation of postmarks and cancellations 1792-1920
By Cagliari Association for Philately and Numismatics

History of postal service in Sardinia and catalogue of all the marks used in the island from the prehadesive period to the 20's of the Twentieth century, the result of many years of research and study of thousands of documents.

The authors follow the development of postal communication in the island through the different historical steps and the political-institutional background, and place the marks in their historical-political context, of which they are unmistakable evidence.

The present work provides many updates to what known before. It includes cancellations relevant to sea and railway services, but not those of military mail and of the Kingdom of Sardinia fleet (1848-1861) as they were not used in the island.
