Postage stamps of Italian Libya were stamps issued by the Kingdom of Italy for use in Italian Libya, between 1934 and 1943.〔(Detailed review of all the stamps in Italian Libya (in Italian) )〕 ==History== The area now comprising Libya was originally a vilayet of the Ottoman Empire which was ceded to Italy in 1912〔Stuart Rossiter. The Stamp Atlas p. 275〕 and became an Italian colony with its own stamps 〔(First stamps in colonial Libya )〕 Due to the lack of normal postal service in Ottoman Libya, the Italian Embassy in Tripoli issued the first Italian stamps in Libya in 1909, calling "Barberia" the area. Stamps of Italy were issued from 1912 overprinted ''Libia'' and later Italian colonial issues were issued specifically for Libya.〔''Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalogue Part 8 Italy & Switzerland''.pp.190-194〕 All stamps of colonial Libya were printed at the Italian Government Printing Works.〔 Some were dedicated to celebrate Italian events not related to Libya〔(Libya stamps in the 1910s and 1920s )〕 From 1924 to 1934 Tripolitania and Cyrenaica had their own stamps before being unified in 1934, with Fezzan, as the Italian colony of Libya. Italian colonial issues continued until Libya was overrun by the British Army during the Second World War in 1943. The Fiera di Tripoli done inside Italian Tripoli had special stamps until WWII.〔("Fiera di Tripoli" stamps )〕 The most famous stamps of Italian Libya are those called ''Panoramiche'', issued mainly in the late 1930s, that show Libyan landscape and city views. There were even special stamps for "servizi" (packs, etc.)〔("Servizi" stamps )〕 All the stamps of Italian Libya were issued with bilingual (Italian and Arab) numbers and letters, even during WWII when Germans of the "Afrika Korps" complained about. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Postage stamps of Italian Libya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
