Event Desc:
This presentation will examine Bermuda’s postal history beginning with the earliest known cover in private hands, 1617. We will touch on all aspects of postal history organized by route. Rates and markings appear in their appropriate place in that narrative. A number of unique items, such as the Moncrieff cover, and iconic ones, such as the Postmaster Stamps, are placed in their context. Such a comprehensive study has not been attempted before.
