1900: 25c. rose and blue on cover from 'Djibouti' addressed to Emperor Menelik II personally in 'Addis Abbeba'. On the reverse are two transit marks HARAR (7-8-19) and ENTOTTO (20-8-19). According to 'Payne' (Cockerill Series Booklet 17), the year slug '00' for 1900 was not available, hence '19' was used (as the next best thing). The stamp on this very fresh letter is stuck down over the edge. Nonetheless a most desirable letter of the period to a prominent recipient. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image)
