Introduction Postage stamps and related objects are miniature communication tools, and they tell a story about cultural and political identities and about artistic forms of identity expressions. They are part of the world’s material heritage, and part of history. Ever more of this postal heritage becomes available online, published by stamp collectors’ organizations, auction houses, commercial stamp shops, online catalogues, and individual collectors. Virtually collecting postage stamps and postal history has recently become a possibility. These working papers about Africa are examples of what can be done. But they are work-in-progress! Everyone who would like to contribute, by sending corrections, additions, and new area studies can do so by sending an email message to the APH editor: Ton Dietz ([email protected]). You are welcome!

1 Introduction
“Administratively, Réunion is one of the overseas departments of France. Like the other four [current] overseas departments, it is also one of the 18 regions of France, with the modified status of overseas region, and an integral part of the republic with the same status as Metropolitan France. Réunion is an outermost region of the European Union and, as an overseas department of France, part of the Eurozone”. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9union

“This volcanic island in the Indian Ocean, while admittedly remote (110 miles southwest of Mauritius and 420 miles east of Madagascar), was prosperous because of thriving trade in sugarcane and spices, and boasted a population of more than 121,000. The island was fairly sophisticated, with some fine buildings, especially in St. Denis, and at least eight newspapers. The island was uninhabited until the French landed in 1638, and initially was known as Mascarin. In 1649, it was officially claimed by France and named after the ruling dynasty, becoming Ile de Bourbon…Twenty members of the French East India Co. arrived in 1665, and over the next hundred years the population grew, including many slaves imported to tend the commercial crops. Before 1853, France had few specific laws dealing with internal posts of its colonies, and several of the older colonies — Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Bourbon — had organized their own letter posts by the second half of the 18th century. Bourbon’s first official internal post began in 1784. The elected national convention in Paris abolished the monarchy on Sept. 21, 1792, and in March 1793, Ile de Bourbon became Ile de la Reunion, a name reflecting what Maurice Jamet (150 Ans d’Histoire Postale des Anciennes Colonies Francaises, 1980) called “a sense of union of wills and a name to remind us of our victories and revolution” [translation]. In 1806, the island became Ile de Bonaparte, after the first French emperor (as of 1804). The British captured the island but kept the name in 1810, but reverting to France in 1815 after the Congress of Vienna, the island became Bourbon once more. Finally, in 1848, it became, and still is, Ile de la Reunion — Reunion Island: a French department in 1946, and an overseas department and one of France’s 18 [overseas] regions in 1974 (by Kathleen Wunderly)”. https://www.linns.com/news/world-stamps-postal-history/2016/november/reunion-made-own- stamps-1852.html
“La Reunion became a French possession in 1638, following the landing of Goubert de Dieppe. It was first named Ile Bourbon, in honor of the famed royal family. A true colonization had to wait until the arrival of an expedition in 1642-43, as can be seen in the set of stamps (Scott 177B-177G) issued in 1943 to celebrate the third centenary of the colony. Still, however, it was only a tentative “foot on the ground.” Settlement of this and other islands was encouraged by the motherland as part of a defense strategy for the empire. The prominence of British military and civilian establishments on the Indian subcontinent called for a vigorous expansion of French presence in the Indian Ocean. Particularly, the defense of French establishments in India led to a strategy that called for a periphery of defensive points, beginning in Madagascar, which could, in case of necessity, become bases for, and lend support to, eventual naval deployments. A systematic and well-capitalized expansion of French colonialists in Ile Bourbon began in earnest in 1664. In the early 1700s, Mauritius was taken from the Dutch, and the Seychelles Islands were colonized beginning in 1756. The periphery strategy seemed to be fully operational. While Great Britain poured all of its efforts on the mainland, France continued to build a necklace of island posts, useful from both military and commercial points of view. The island’s main product was sugar cane, which proved to be a secure and steady source of income for the islanders. Then, in 1721, coffee was brought to Ile Bourbon, and was an immediate commercial success. Business and population grew steadily, and the decades passed relatively uneventfully. In 1793, the name of the island was changed to Reunion, as a direct consequence of the fall of the French monarchy. Louis XVI was deposed in 1792. France and England were at war again in 1803. A British naval blockade of the island took place in 1809, leading to the landing on the
5
African Postal Heritage; African Studies Centre Leiden; APH Paper 37; Ton Dietz Réunion; Version January 2019 island of 4,000 British soldiers. The local population capitulated less than two days after the landing, and a relatively peaceful changing of the guard took place. Some local inhabitants, notably in the town of Saint-Andre, had even sided with the British — apparently, not everyone had been a fan of the revolution. L’Isle de France was also taken by British forces in 1810, and was renamed “Mauritius.” The Seychelles were taken by the British in 1811. While Mauritius and Seychelles remained under British dominion, the island of Reunion was ceded back to France at the signing of the Treaty of Paris of April 2, 1815. It remained in the status of a French colony until 1947, at which time it became an integral part of France (by Sergio Sismondo ”. https://www.linns.com/news/world- stamps-postal-history/2017/february/la-reunion-brief-history-of-its-postage-stamps.html

https://www.linns.com/news/world-stamps-postal-history/2016/november/reunion-made-own- stamps-1852/basicslider-0/1852-reunion-island-first-issue.jpg, and : https://www.linns.com/news/world-stamps-postal-history/2017/february/la-reunion-brief-history- of-its-postage-stamps/basicslider-1/reunion-30-centime-stamp.jpg : “Two postal directives from Paris reached the officials of St. Denis, capital of the French colony of Ile de la Reunion, in the summer of 1851. The dispatches were not well-received…Returning to the summer of 1851 on Reunion: France had issued its first stamps in January 1849, and their success led authorities to consider sending stamps for use in the colonies. The official dispatches of June 13 and Aug. 14, 1851, said that certain denominations of the 1849 Ceres stamps — the 10-centime, 25c and 1-franc denominations — would be sent to Reunion. (Four other colonies eventually received stamps as well.). The dispatches also listed all the postal rates in effect for mailing from the island to France and its settlements, including “the special and local rates” (not specified) that would have to be prepaid for letters to reach the port of mailing (St. Denis) on Reunion. The implication was, however, that the French stamps to be supplied could be used for all mailing purposes. The problem was that local rates on Reunion were 15 centimes for a letter mailed within a city, and 30c for a letter sent between two post offices within the island, and no French stamps in those denominations were to be sent. Thus, there would be no stamps of the correct denominations to prepay letters to get them to St. Denis, from which they would then be sent overseas. The website of the Philatelic Circle of Bourges, in central France, describes the Reunion governor (possibly an apocryphal anecdote, but humorous nonetheless) as reading the dispatches and then saying, “A Paris, decidemment, ils ne comprennent rien” (translation: “In Paris, decidedly, they understand nothing”). And, so, the Reunion officials decided to print the stamps they needed for their own purposes, no matter what Paris chose to send. A decree dated Dec. 10, 1851, signed in St. Denis by the island’s governor, Louis Doret, and the director of the interior, Edouard Manes, listed all the postal rates both for mail leaving Reunion and for internal postal fees, and stated that, “There will be 10c, 25c, and 1fr stamps for the letters for France and foreign countries, and 15c and 30c stamps for the interior service of the colony.” This decree did not note that the 10c, 25c and 1fr stamps were existing French issues, and that the 15c and 30c issues were being printed on the island. The “official government printer” in St. Denis, Gabriel La Huppe (there is still a street in St. Denis named after him), was charged with both
1 M = Michel Katalog Nord- und Ostafrika, 2005, Reunion, pp 978-996. 8
African Postal Heritage; African Studies Centre Leiden; APH Paper 37; Ton Dietz Réunion; Version January 2019 designing and producing the new stamps, with a different design for each of the two denominations. Scott’s Monthly Journal of May 1925 quoted prolific philatelic author Fred Melville on the birth of the Reunion stamps, saying that La Huppe “made up the designs from type ornaments and letters, and apparently set each denomination four times, as four variations are found of each value.” The stamps were printed by typography in black ink on thin, blue pelure paper, unwatermarked and not perforated. The stamps also were ungummed, a factor that Melville blamed for the stamps’ unpopularity with the public, who sometimes added glue or used pins to affix the stamps. Use of the stamps was optional, with payment noted in manuscript markings by postal clerks on the letters. Melville said that the St. Denis postmaster allegedly stated that he did not sell more than eight francs’ worth of the stamps in the years of their validity, Jan. 1, 1852, to Dec. 31, 1859, after which they were replaced by the first general issue of the French colonies. That figure is difficult to believe, but on the subject of scarcity, Melville also mentioned that “an old-time philatelist of Bordeaux who thought himself in clover when he unearthed a mass of 2,000 letters of the period all originating in Reunion, found only six copies of the island’s stamps amongst the lot.” How many examples were printed of the first issues of Reunion? The number often quoted in catalogs and articles is 7,500 of each denomination, and Melville stated in the 1925 Scott’s Monthly Journal article that 14,960 were destroyed in 1860, without giving his source for this figure. Because this would leave only 40 stamps ever extant, 15,000 becomes unbelievable. A document discovered in recent years in the archives of St. Denis, described in a monograph by its finders, Jean Francois Brun and Benedict Chandanson, published in December 2008 (Les Deux Premiers Timbres-Poste de l’Ile de la Reunion) sheds light on both the question of quantities of Reunion Scott 1 and 2 and their ungummed state. The handwritten document, dated Feb. 16, 1852, at 8 a.m., in St. Denis, states [translation] that the signatories — Planta, director of letter mail in Reunion; Gardillane, curator of mortgages; Morin, representative of the controller; and La Huppe, government printer — “have examined in accordance with the orders of the director of the interior, on receipt of the stamps, the issue of which was ordered by decree of 31 December 1851 and whose surrender to the director of the office could not take place due to damage incurred during the application of a coating used to stick them on letters.” The document continues, stating that the examiners “found it appropriate to accept four thousand eight hundred,” including 2,400 of each denomination, “and there was need to destroy an amount of three thousand two hundred,” 1,600 of each denomination, which were “immediately burned in the presence of the committee.” The “accepted” and the “destroyed” numbers add up to 8,000, but at least some of the new stamps had been on sale for more than month. Had some ungummed examples been put on sale, and then La Huppe tried to apply gum to some of the rest, with disastrous results? I do not have a copy of the Brun-Chandanson monograph, to see what the authors have to say about any ungummed stamps that had been placed on sale Jan. 1, 1852. The use of the figure 7,500 of each denomination in various sources continues to be inexplicable. No matter what their original quantities, Reunion Scott 1 and 2 are mighty scarce today. Melville’s 1925 article discussed the examples offered in the April 1925 auction of material from the holdings of the truly legendary collector, Count Philippe la Renotiere von Ferrary (1850-1917). The French government had seized the enormous collection as war reparations and auctioned it in 14 sales between 1921 and 1926. Melville exclaimed that Ferrary had owned six examples of the 15c and four of the 30c: “ten stamps with a total philatelic value of at least $9,000!” That sum wouldn’t buy half of a single example of Reunion Scott 1 or 2 these days.The values in the 2017 Scott Classic Specialized Catalogue of Stamps and Covers 1840-1940 for the two issues are given in italics, to indicate the elusiveness of examples. Reunion Scott 1, the 15c, is valued at $39,000 unused and $25,000 used, and $45,000 on cover.

Reunion Scott 2, the 30c, is also valued at $39,000 unused and $25,000 used, but $35,000 on cover. The two stamps were reprinted using the surviving plates (some had rusted away) in 1866 in Brussels, with three types of each denomination instead of the original four, on paper of a lighter blue than the original. The reprints are easily identified by the outer frame of one thick and one thin line, rather than the originals’ frame of one thick and two thin lines. (by Kathleen Wunderly)”.

A partir de 1860, les 15 bureaux de poste insulaires ont utilisé les timbres "aigle" communs à toutes les colonies du Second Empire. Lors du lancement des timbres "aigle", la Réunion avait reçu cinq fois moins de vignettes que Martinique ou Guadeloupe. De ce fait, les oblitérations de certains bureaux réunionnais comme celui de "Plaine des Palmistes" n'ont jamais été vues sur une lettre avant 1864. Mais dans la seconde partie de la décennie 1860, le trafic postal de la Réunion était passé à environ 3 000 lettres par semaine contre

The first aeroplane from abroad landed in Mauritius at Mon Choisy on 10th September 1933, using an airstrip converted from a former racecourse in the north of the island. The single-seater aeroplane, a Potez 43, F-AMGP (named Monique), was owned by Maurice Samet of the Roland Garros Flying Club of Réunion; he flew it himself and was accompanied by Paul Louis Lemerle. On 10th November, two single-seater aircraft, each with a bag of mail (1,084 pieces altogether), left Rivière des Pluies airfield in Réunion for Mauritius. Two and a half hours later they landed at Mon Choisy where the Assistant Postmaster

General of Mauritius, Selman Ah-see, met them and took charge of the mailbags, whose contents received arrival handstamps at GrandBay, the nearest post office to Mon Choisy. For the return on the 14th November--the first mail-carrying flight out of Mauritius--a fifth line was added "Voyage de retour". The return flight carried 1,032 pieces of mail for Réunion and 149 pieces for onward transmission by sea to Kenya (14 pieces) and Europe (135) items). The air mail postage was R1 per 10 grams, and many philatelic items bore obsolete Victorian stamps (for these were not invalidated until 1937). (From The Postal History and Stamps of Mauritius, by Peter Ibbotson (1991), pages 93 & 94) ”. The website shows many other examples.

“LA DÉPARTEMENTALISATION DES « VIEILLES COLONIES »
26 FÉVRIER 1946 :
Aimé Césaire fait un rapport à l'Assemblée sur trois propositions de loi déposées par Léopold Bissol pour les Antilles, Gaston Monerville pour la Guyane, et Paul Vergès pour la Réunion tendant à assimiler les quatre colonies à des départements français et ce après le vote en ce sens des conseils généraux locaux. En fait la demande porte essentiellement sur l'assimilation
en matière de sécurité sociale puisque les «vielles colonies» élisaient déjà leurs députés, sénateurs, conseillers généraux... “
“A la Réunion, plusieurs flammes d'oblitération et une oblitération temporaire commémoreront le 40ème anniversaire de la "départementalisation".

8 A Note on Sources
African Postal Heritage papers are based on information available online. For Réunion there are many sources. As usual for APH papers a lot of images of postage stamps could be downloaded from stampworld: https://swmedia-4cd6.kxcdn.com/media/catalogue/Reunion, and from https://www.postbeeld.com and their https://www.freestampcatalogue.com. Some images came from another online catalogue: http://kayatana.com.
Public auction websites have become indispensable for online information about postage stamps, like https://i.ebayimg.com, and https://images-00.delcampe-static.net.
Many commercial auction houses and commercial stamp dealers provide a lot of useful images and information as well, like http://stampauctionnetwork.com, https://www.sandafayre.com, and others2 . For Réunion and other French territories http://www.colfra.org/ , and their http://www.histoire-et-philatelie.fr/ are very important sources of detailed information. https://www.stampcommunity.org , http://www.stampdomain.com/country/reunion, some blogspots, and other sources of information based on collectors is useful as well 3. For postal areas like Réunion, with very expensive stamps and hence dangerous forgeries http://stampforgeries.com is important to detect those forgeries.
There are some useful sources for postal history, like https://www.mauritiuspostalhistory.com, https://www.linns.com/news/world-stamps-postal-history, and of course https://nl.wikipedia.org , https://upload.wikimedia.org, https://assets.catawiki.nl, and https://www.wikitimbres.fr.
For revenue stamps https://www.jbarefoot.co.uk is a useful source of information, as well as http://www.timbres-fiscaux.fr, http://www.maison-timbre.fr, and http://p5.storage.canalblog.com.
Images in general, and hence also images of postage stamps, postcards and other related philatelic material can be found on https://i.pinimg.com, https://www.picclickimg.com, https://www.hipstamp.com, https://c8.alamy.com, https://2img.net/h/i1298.photobucket.com/albums, and https://previews.123rf.com/images/irisphoto18.
Of course there is also information in books, which are not (yet) online. For Réunion two books look particularly interesting: François Feuga’s “Marques postales et obliterations de l’Ile de la Réunion”, and Daniel Bauchet’s “Les Convoyeurs de la Réunion” together with “ les obliterations de la Réunion”, written together with Jean Wall.
