Collection / stockbook

What you see is what you get: this is a thick insteekboek (stockbook) of Tunisia postzegels — a single-owner collection built up page by page. Before 1950, Tunisian postal history moved from the Beylical regency and French protectorate general issues, through the elegant camel and portrait definitives of the colonial period, and into the white-crescent-and-star issues of independent Tunisia.

The twenty-three page photographs below document the album exactly as it sits — every mount, every stamp, every page. Click any page to enlarge it for close reading.
