(wm-pcp) The circular, which is once again over 100 pages long, offers a review of the DASV spring meeting in Düren as well as internal association matters, but the focus is on various specialist articles by renowned authors. Among them are: Dr Joachim Helbig (‘Judicaria’), Luc Selis (‘The Belgian British Queen 1839-1842’), Klaus Weis (‘The most distant destination for Baden conditions until 1871’), Dr Winfried Leist (‘New observations and open questions about postal orders’) and Karlheinz Wagner (‘Possibilities for producing a number cancellation’).
The series on postal history and old letters continues with issue 223 and Klaus Weis’s 32-page study on the topic of ‘Follow-up trips on intercontinental steamship lines to speed up mail for Australia & NZL 1843-1857’, which is well worth reading.
As always, this circular letter is perfectly designed and printed. Its content and realisation make it clear why these publications were awarded a gold medal by DEBRA 2024.
