image 1848: Slave Revolt in Frederiksted. A somewhat tatty letter written from St. Croix to Keswick, UK endorsed 'per Royal Mail Steamer' and charged 1/5 d. upon receipt. Reverse with ST. THOMAS British P.O. datestamp in black (Dec 31) and Keswick arrival in blue (Jan 26, 1849).rnThe contents make fascinating reading about "the War as the Negroes calls it...on the tuesday when the Slaves had got their Freedom and they were robbing all about... in the mean time an Overseer full split as hard as his horse would could go and she was a fine animal for God's sake, he says fly as hard as you can for there is about 50 horsemen coming after me and says they will kill every white man in the Island, then Mr. Newton came to me and asked what was to be done. I said stop here and shoot them... I said I was determined to live or die where I was then I was left with the Negroes all alone...I had a sword in one hand and a stick in the other, the first that came I knoocked him off his horse and then the people that was with me commenced and before 5 minutes the whole of them had fled...in the morning there was a crowd of people about 5 hundred came the Negroes from King Hill was with them and as soon as they saw me they would not do anything and they saved my life two or three times...I am now manager at an Estate called Petronella...the Island may do very well but if they (the Negroes) get on bad then the Island and the whole of us may go to the Devil...". A fascinating historical insight. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image)

image Royal Mail Steam Packet Co 1875: Die Proof for the 10 c. value on thick white card paper hand-painted in brown, pale blue and Chinese white, imperforate and attached to piece from the De La Rue Day Book, showing differences to the finished design: the flag being larger, the flagstaff not touching the circle at base and the vignette being on a solid background. There is a sheet marginal example of the finished stamp above and manuscript notation "Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. Postage March 1875. 30 Set. If other duties are required we must make an overprint + cut away 10 Cents from the forme". Illustrated in 'The Private Ship Letter Stamps of the World' by Ringström & Tester on page 129 and in Robson Lowe Encyclopaedia, Volume VI on page 261.

A remarkable and very rare cover, there being but three examples of this stamp recorded on letter: one ex the Jan Berg collection ex Puerto Cabello (lot 6077) and the other a cover from Haiti illustrated in Ringstöm & Tester which in this describer's opinion appears doubtful; this being the sole example used from the Dominican Republic.

image Clara Rothe / St. Thomas - Puerto Rico 1866/69: Two album pages with imperforate Proofs for 4 c. value in red-brown and 2 r. in blue, 2 c. black on green coloured paper Proof perforated 10½, the unissued set of four: ½ r. blue, 1 r. orange-red, 2 r. mauve and 4 r. green, and the same four values all printed in black; these originals being printed by Stern in Paris and very scarce. The collection continues with 1st Forgery in black perf. 13 or trimmed to appear imperforate, 2nd Forgery with spurious cancels (gros chiffres 944 and oval BM), and a 3rd unreported Forgery with the vignette without the background horizontal lines. Whilst treated largely as a 'bogus' issue, the originals are extremely scarce as are the Proofs; see Ringström & Tester pages 114-118.rnNote: The Steamer 'Clara Rothe' was named after the daughter of the DWI Governor from 1820-1822, she was built at Southampton by C.A. Day & Co., sailing from there to St. Thomas and arriving on 28th March 1865. Due to local opposition to her proposed service between St. Thoms and Puerto Rico she was sold to Haiti between April and June 1866. The stamp issue proposed for the service was ordered by the Frenchman George Nunes from Paris and arrived after the service ceased. (Image 1) (Image)
