The Philatelist's Corner on Early South Africa Stamps
A philatelic column reviews early Union of South Africa stamps, typographic quality, bilingual text, and the shift from London to Pretoria printers. It notes the first official issues in 1900, the move to paravure rotary processes, and concerns about forgeries and misprints such as occasional Afrikaans spellings and a possible misprint where Official may appear as Ottina.
