Tripolitania

Tripolitania was the northwestern province of Libya as an Italian colony.
 * Stamps were being issued since 1912 for the whole of Libya. In October 1923, separate issues for Tripolitania were released. This was Italy's Propaganda of the Faith set, overprinted TRIPOLITANIA.
 * That was followed by other Italian commemoratives similarly overprinted.
 * In 1926, the Colonial Institute issues were released inscribed TRIPOLITANIA.
 * Both overprinted sets and specific issues for the province continued until 1934, when Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and Fezzan came under a single administration.
