Topics in the June 2026 Issue
The June 2026 Journal (Issue 118) presents new research into the philately and postal history of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal and Zululand. Contributors Bram Leeflang, Vincent Kalkhoven, Brian Schrire, Peter Whitmore and the editor Simon Solomon examine Cape Triangle colour varieties, historic postcards, Edwardian Customs Duty issues, rare Natal £20 stamps, the provisional telegraph stamps of 1902 and handwritten Nqutu frankings. Building on pioneering and recent scholarship, these detailed studies offer practical guidance for identifying elusive varieties, understanding their historical context and developing specialised collections. The issue concludes with the remarkable journey of a 1901 cover searching for a missing Natal policeman.
