This scholarly work analyses the complex postal regulations and procedures for mail sent from continental Portugal, Madeira, and the Azores to the United States of America between the introduction of Portugal’s first adhesive stamps on 1 July 1853 until its
entry into the General Postal Union on 1 July 1875.

It details how mail transit relied on intermediary countries, primarily the UK, via various Anglo-American postal conventions. The study provides a thorough examination of the different conventions and arrangements to interpret the complex accounting systems, diverse postage rates, and markings found on this transatlantic mail.
