The result of forty years of research into the workings of the Cape Colonial Post Office, this book offers a creditable history and chronology of postal management at the GPO in Cape Town during the 19th century. Faced with a dearth of archival data, Franco Frescura has used basic postal information drawn from personal collections of colleagues worldwide to reconstruct events during the colonial era.
The outcome in most cases, contradicts the assumptions made by previous researchers in this field, making this book a valuable addition to the libraries of researchers of Cape history and the development of its colonial infrastructure.
