NETHERLANDS MAIL in TIMES of TURMOIL Volume 1 1568–1795
The main objective of this study of Dutch field post and related subjects has been to cover philatelic aspects of correspondence related to wars, military operations, upheavals and civil unrest. This is Volume 1 of three. All three Volumes are to be in the English language only, US letter format (279 x 216 mm) and colour throughout. The book has xiv + 168 pages.
To appreciate how and why the mail was carried, an understanding of each conflict or war is crucial. The historic, military and political background of the period in question and chronologies of relevant events puts the philatelic aspects into their proper historical context. In this way the reader’s curiosity will be stirred.
This first volume covers the period from the start
of the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule until the end of the United
Netherlands Republic in 1795. Many letters are related to the constant
involvement by England and France in the European conflicts of the day
and their effect on Belgium and Netherlands.
This trilogy should appeal to the philatelist as well as the historian.
Besides the historical context, postal courier routes, tariffs and catalogues
of postal markings for the mail covered are also included, although
examples of some postal markings in this earlier period are not plentiful.
