ZUID-AFRIKAANSCHE REPUBLIEK/TRANSVAAL: 1902-1910

Version January 2017

Introduction

Postage stamps and related objects are miniature communication tools, and they tell a
story about cultural and political identities and about artistic forms of identity
expressions. They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever
more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’
organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and
individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently
become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be
done. But they are work-in-progress! Everyone who would like to contribute, by
sending corrections, additions, and new area studies can do so by sending an email
message to the APH editor: Ton Dietz (dietzaj@asc.leidenuniv.nl). You are welcome!

After 31 May 1910 this common Transvaal postage and revenue stamp could be used legitimately in
the whole of South Africa. Such stamps used between that date and September 1913 are called
"Interprovincials". Those of the three former colonies (now provinces) can also be collected used in
the Transvaal. Until early in 1911, examples of interprovincial use are rare. After that stamps of all
the four former colonies were distributed from Pretoria. Later in 1911 the stocks of stamps were
replenished by printing only Transvaal issues. They were replaced by a new definitive issue in
September 1913.”
