    Q) WHOLE NUMBER 180 (Vol. 36, No.2) April 1980 ---------------------------- Franc!a~ Colonies "f£. Philatelist USPS ¢::~077110 ON THE USE OF THE 'Tn-IN-TRIANGLE MARK ON POSTAGE STAMPS Roberl G. Stone Introduction of the T Cachets The T-in-triangle mark of France and colonies to indicate postage is due was introduced in the early 1800s in France, but not extensively used until after GPU/UPU came in, and in the colonies it appeared around 1876. Ap­ parently, the UPU rules for marking covers at origin to show that additional postage is due at destination, on international mail, stimulated the French and colonial postal administrations to supply nearly all offices with the T-in­ triangle. At the same time they decided to make it the practice to apply the T also on domestic mail; which was probably seen to be desirable because the colonies as a group had adhered to the UPU separately from France, and mail between colonies and France had something of the character of international mail. The UPU had not yet recommended use of postage-due stamps as a means of collecting the due charges, and the early French postage-due stamps were limited to local domestic mail. In 1881 France finally issued dues stamps for general use on all types of insufficiently franked mail. Several colonies issued locally-printed dues stamps for domestic mail only, between 1876 and the 1880s. In 1884 the General Issues of dues for the colonies were first printed and made available to those colonies that requested them. From 1905 on some colonies were supplied definitive issues of due~ but the General Issues were still used someplaces until the 19208.

Many formats exist. CCANCELLATIONSANCELLATIONS A cancellation (or cancel) is a postal marking applied to a postage stamp or a piece of postal stationery indicating that the item has been used. The primary purpose of cancels is to prevent the reuse of stamps. PPOSTMARKSOSTMARKS ASAS CCANCELSANCELS The terms cancel and postmark are used interchangeably. A prime reason is the use of postmarks directly on the stamp. SSTAMPLESSTAMPLESS EERARA PPOSTMARKSOSTMARKS The first postmark (called the “Bishop Mark”) was introduced by English Postmaster General Henry Bishop in 1661. It showed only the date and month of mailing. The format of the Bishop Mark changed during the 1700’s. Can you guess the dates on the postmarks below? 1661 Early 1700’s Late 1700’s FFRANKLINRANKLIN MMARKARK During colonial times, American postmarks included the Franklin Mark shown on this letter from Boston to Providence. The Franklin Mark is similar to the Bishops Mark. The 8-cent postal fee is hand- written at the bottom of the letter. Fees ranged from 8-25 cents and were based on number of pages and distance.

    El Salvador Handbook Prestamp Postal Markings. Colonial Period. Throughout the colonial era, El Salvador was part of the Captaincy General of Guatemala. Hence, its postal history during this period is directly related to that of the other provinces of the territory: Chiapas, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. After the Spanish conquest in the 1520's, the authorities started sending messengers to the ports in Mexico and Yucatan, from where all correspondence was sent to Spain. However, it was not until 1602, that the President of the Real Figure 1-1. Entire letter from Santa Ana to Guatemala, July 30, 1780. Audiencia of Guatemala appointed Manuel de Earliest known postal marking of El Esteves as 'Correo Mayor de Guatemala y sus Salvador Provincias' (Postmaster General of Guatemala & its Provinces). Esteves died the following year, but it was not until 1612 that Baltasar Pinto de Amberes was appointed as the new Correo Mayor. Pedro Crespo Xuarez, who bought the tittle and office at a public auction, replaced him in 1620. After Crespo, only three individuals filled the office of 'Correo Mayor' by purchasing it: Francisco de Lira y Cárcamo (1646-1682), José Agustín de Estrada (1682-1730), and Pedro Ortíz de Letona (1730-1767). In 1767, the Correo Mayor system was abolished and replaced by a government monopoly. On March 1, 1768, the new office of ‘Administrador General de Correos y Maestre de Hostes, Postas, y Correos’ was created, a position occupied by Captain General Pedro de Salazar Herrera Natera y Mendoza. Under the new regime, Simon de Larrazabal (1768-1797) assumed responsibility of the royal mail in Guatemala.
