“Morocco: The History of the Local and Sherifien Posts (1891-1913), new discoveries, and correcting some historical mistakes and bazaar rumours”.- Maurice Hadida, Paris, France

October 6, 2021 @ 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

The postal history of Morocco in the 1890’s, and the years up to the World War I, is rich and varied as four imperial powers (France, Great Britain, Spain and Germany) maintained postal services which were in competition with each other and with the Sultan’s newly-created Sherifien Post.

In addition, some entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to create local posts which complemented the foreign posts.
As a result, many of the postal services worked in tandem with each other, producing rare and eye-catching combination covers.
