Sudan Camel Postman

Sudan · 1898 · 1 Millieme

This definitive stamp, the first issued by Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, features a striking design of a postman riding a camel through the desert. The design, created by Captain E.A. Stanton, became an iconic symbol of the region's postal service, emphasizing the challenging conditions of mail delivery.

Issued in 1898 following the Anglo-Egyptian reconquest of Sudan, this stamp series established a new postal system under the Condominium government, replacing earlier Egyptian and Mahdist issues.
