A Postal History of Egypt Under The Muhammad Ali Dynasty Volume 3: Post Office Cancellations In 19th Century 3rd Edition 2026

This full-colour volume documents Egypt's postal history from 1805 to 1914, focusing on Post Office cancellations in the 19th Century. It also addresses the spread of Egypt's post offices at home and abroad, including Travelling and Rural post offices, as well as its offices on the Mediterranean and Red Sea. Many examples of these cancellations are given throughout the book. There are also detailed maps showing the locations of these post offices. This book was awarded a Large Vermeil medal at the World Stamp Exhibition in 2019 and a Certificate of Invitation to the Egypt Exhibit at the International Exhibition "MonacoPhil 2019," signed by His Serene Highness Albert II, Sovereign Prince of Monaco. In a review of this book by Mr. Mike Murphy, Secretary and Editor of The Egypt Study Circle, U.K., he said, "Professor Sami Fereig ... has succeeded admirably in presenting a unique glimpse into two apparently unconnected worlds - those of philately and daily events - and brought them together with a linking that proves beyond doubt that the two can be seen as halves of the whole." Prof. John Dunn, History Dept., Valdosta State University, U.S.A. said "... I've never seen a better example of "postal history." Thanks for your monumental efforts." Its novel perspective on Egypt's history and philatelic development is a unique contribution to Egypt's postal history.
