 Hungary to Imperial Chinese Customs-1882 Cover to E. Farago in Peking One of the Earliest Recorded Hungarian Customs Covers to China January 1882, Hungary, envelope franked with two 10 krajczár blue stamps (Magyar Kir. Posta
issue), each tied by a clear "BAJA/82" circular datestamp. Addressed to E. Farago Esq., Inspectorate General of Customs, Peking, China. Reverse with a well-preserved sequence of transit and arrival markings: TRIEST c.d.s. (20.1.82); NAPOLI PORTO
c.d.s. (22.1.82); HONG KONG INDEX B transit (FE 27/82); CUSTOMS SHANGHAI arrival c.d.s. (MAR 4/82); Docketed frontside: "Recd. 10th March, 1882". E. Farago Esq., the addressee, was a senior official in the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Service,
and is referenced multiple times in Sir Robert Hart's memoir "The I.G. in Peking". This cover was sent during Hart's tenure as Inspector General. Hungarian correspondence to China during the 19th century is exceedingly rare. This example stands out
as one of the earliest known covers addressed to the Chinese Imperial Customs headquarters in Peking, and offers invaluable insights into early international postal routes via Trieste, Naples, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. A truly noteworthy item of early
Sino-Hungarian Customs postal history.
1882年匈牙利寄中國海關總稅務司北京信封目前已知最早期寄往中國海關之匈牙利郵件之一 贴用匈牙利《Magyar Kir. Posta》10克拉藍色郵票兩枚,分別銷**"BAJA/82"圓形日戳林。寄至中國北京海關總稅務司E. Farago 閣下。 封背蓋戳記包括 TRIEST 圓戰(20.1.1882); NAPOLI PORTO 圓戳(22.1.1882); HONG KONG INDEX
B過境戰(FE27/82); CUSTOMS SHANGHAI 圓戰(MAR4/82); 封面下方手寫收件日期: “Recd. 10th March, 1882" 收件人E. Farago 閣下為清朝海關高級官員,於赫德爵士(Sir Robert Hart)所著回憶錄 (The I. G. in Peking)中多次提及。此信寄出時間正值赫德出任中國總稅務司任內。
19世紀匈牙利寄中國郵件極為罕見,此件信封更為目前已知最早期之一的清朝海關官方郵件,展現其透過的里雅斯特、拿坡里、香港、上海等地之國際郵遞路線,極具歷史與郵政研究價值。 早期中歐-中國海關郵政史珍品(Image 1)
