2023, full color. Author James W. Milgram, M.D. Many of the postal markings used to cancel stamps from New York City during most of the 1860s are striking. James W. Milgram M.D. has documented more than 500 different types on domestic mail, most of which could be termed fancy cancels. These domestic killers are different from the New York killers used on foreign mail. These domestic markings have never been fully recorded and presented as a group. They are the largest group of fancy cancels known from the classic 1860s period of fancy cancels, so this monograph is a valuable reference for anyone interested in United States fancy cancellations. Each color illustration provides a catalog number, a description of the marking, a dated postmark from the cover that bears the marking, and a cross reference to the Skinner-Eno drawings, if one exists (most do not). The monograph is 8.5x11 heavy coated paper, all color, perfect bound with thick covers
