Turks & Caicos Islands Postal History 1810-1945: A Grand Award Winning Exhibit (Grand Award Stamp Exhibits)

This exhibit of the stamps and postal history of the Turks and Caicos Islands is a world-class display, the finest ever assembled.The Turks and Caicos Islands were truly one of the tiny “backwaters” of the British Empire, and even today, they remain a British Dependent Territory under the ultimate authority of a Governor appointed by London. The obvious postal history implication of this is that commercial mail from the earliest known period —the early 1800s to the mid-20th Century—exists in very small quantities. Thus, the difficulty of acquisition is extremely high, regardless of the price.The philatelic exhibit is divided into three chronological periods: 1810-1899, covering the early and middle Victorian eras; 1900-1936, encompassing the late Victorian, Edward VII, and George V eras; and 1937-1945, with the George VI and World War II eras. Within each of the three sections, postmarks, registration, postal cachets, and official mail are shown, with the last section also covering wartime censorship.This stamp exhibit, prepared by a great stamp collector, contains extraordinary postage stamps and postal history and is another great stamp exhibit from Exhibitors Press.
