  • Geneva from the Cantonal to the Federal Post
    Geneva From the Cantonal To the Federal Post Jean Voruz FRPSL, Switzerland The Royal Philatelic Society London 28 September 2017 Front cover illustration On 1 st October 1849, the cantonal posts are reorganized and the federal post is created. The Geneva cantonal stamps are still valid, but the rate for local letters is increased from 5 to 7 cents. As the "Large Eagle" with a face value of 5c is sold at the promotional price of 4c, additional 3c is required, materialized here by the old newspapers stamp. One of the two covers being known dated on the First Day of the establishment of the Federal Service. 2 Contents Frames 1 - 2 Cantonal Post Local Mail Frame 2 Cantonal Post Distant Mail Frame 3 Cantonal Post Sardinian & French Mail Frame 4 Transition Period Nearest Cent Frames 4 - 6 Transition Period Other Phases Frame 7 Federal Post Local Mail Frame 8 Federal Post Distant Mail Frames 9 - 10 Federal Post Sardinian & French Mail Background Although I started collecting stamps in 1967 like most of my classmates, I really entered the structured philately in 2005. That year I decided to display a few sheets of Genevan covers at the local philatelic society I joined one year before. Supported by my new friends - especially Henri Grand FRPSL who was one of the very best specialists of Geneva - I went further and got my first FIP Large Gold medal at London 2010 for the postal history collection "Geneva Postal Services". Since then the collection received the FIP Grand Prix International at Philakorea 2014 and the FEPA Grand Prix Finlandia 2017.
