Review by Nick Anning: A second volume rather than a supplement to Afghanistan 1840-2002 by Wilkins, this book has five chapters covering Postal Stationery 1893-2002 with aerogrammes, international postage reply coupons, letter sheets, air letter sheets and envelopes. Revenues 1871-1930 covering sheep and hemp to the protection for Hindus, export duty’s, treasury receipts etc. Forgeries from 1870, including newspaper stamps and postmarks. Genuine issues 1870-78, 1880-92 covering printings, watermarks and paper types then Afghanistan’s only booklet 1923-24.
Containing full colour illustrations throughout, this book allows the identification of the subject matter and in particular the Forgeries.
