A Supplement to Rhodesia: A Postal History

A Supplement to Rhodesia: A Postal History Its Stamps, Posts & Telegraphs offers an essential addendum to Smith's landmark main volume on Rhodesian postal history, published in 1967. The supplement runs to some 62 pages and updates the original text with new issue dates, stamps, technical details and telegraph service information, reflecting the evolving postal system of Rhodesia.

A Supplement to Rhodesia: A Postal History addresses both the philatelic collector and the postal historian, offering richly detailed listings of stamps, overprints, postal stationery and telegraph regulations. He situates the development of the postal service in Rhodesia within the broader context of colonial administration, economic change and national identity. The result is not simply a catalogue of stamps, but a narrative of communication infrastructure, governance and transition.

This supplement remains a valuable reference for collectors of Rhodesiana, African postal history and philately, especially given the changing status of Rhodesia and the rarity of accurate records. The 1967 publication date places it at a significant moment in Rhodesia's postal and national history, and those working with the main volume will find this supplement indispensable.
