Winters, J.G. - The Postal Commission Stamps of Ceylon 1888-1890
Publisher: The Ceylon Study Circle of Great Britain, 2009.
Large format (A4) paperback, illustrated, 48 pages, slight dusty marks to front cover else in Very Good condition.
An excellent publication on the Ceylon Postal Commission surcharges of 1888-90. Although they were produced essentially for fiscal purposes (to denote the extra commission charged by the Post Office on out-of-date Postal Orders) they were, for a short period of a few months in 1890, allowed to be used on mail. This study looks at the four Postal Commission surcharges, their purpose; their varieties; forgeries, and postal usage. Includes a listing of the stamps, including varieties and forgeries, with a guide to relative scarcity. Very well illustrated in colour.
