Postal History of the Kingdom of Poland
by Vincent Domanski and Stephen Rich

The time period covered is from 1815 to 1870. These two authors have created an authoritative and well research study of this time period. This work, originally published in the Stamp Specialist in the 1960's is still considered timely and authoritative.

The work is divided into two time periods. The first 37 pages cover the stampless period which covers the development of the postal system, government and official mail, the designs of the various and numerous town cancels, international mail, different markings as well as rates and various fees. Also included is interesting information on Royal and private mail distribution up to the creation of the Duchy of Warsaw in 1815.

The second section, 34 pages, deals with the created, printing and usage of Poland No.1 from 1858 onward to 1865, when Poland No. 1 was demonetized. Important information is provided on the usage of Russian stamps used in Poland during this time period and until 1870. Russian stamps were used in Poland and were cancelled with Polish numerical cancellations.

As a bonus, a 19 page addition section details the rarity of both Poland and Russian stamps cancelled with Polish numerical cancellations. Rare information is provided on other than the standard black cancellations and several towns where the stamps were re-used to defraud the post office.
