Civilian Postal Censorship in Romanian History, 1914-1928

For over four decades, Dan-Simion Grecu has dedicated himself to the systematic study of Romanian postal history, with a particular focus on the most turbulent periods of the 20th century. His extensive 560-page A4 colour monograph, Civilian Postal Censorship in Romanian History, 1914–1928, represents the ultimate reference work on civil censorship in Romania during 1914–1928. The volume provides a comprehensive analysis of postal censorship handstamps and practices throughout the geography of both old and present-day Romania, highlighting the influence of major regional powers such as Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia, France, and Turkey.

All recorded censorship markings are illustrated on complete postal items that are thoroughly explained or through enlarged details showing wear over time. The richly illustrated English-language study offers researchers worldwide the latest and most detailed information on censorship markings from this era. In addition to documenting the markings themselves, the work supplies numerous historical insights that help readers understand the broader context in which these handstamps were used.
