cover

Overland via Southampton 1860 (June 14): Mourning cover from Moama, New South Wales to London endorsed “Via Melbourne”, bearing New South Wales 1859 Diadem 6 d. fawn "error: Watermark 8”, a three margin example cancelled by indistinct barred numeral “137” of Moama and Victoria 1858 6 d. light blue, both cancelled and tied by the London arrival datestamp in red. A fine combination cover, prepaying the New South Wales 6 d. inland postage from Moama to Melbourne and Victorian 6 d. for a ½ ounce ship letter to England. Most of the early "Riverina" covers are addressed to Miss Lewes, including this example. A very fine and early Riverina combination cover. Note: Towns near the Murray River in south west New South Wales could route overseas mail via Melbourne, Victoria to catch an earlier ship than would have been possible had they been routed via Sydney. Such mail required prepayment from New South Wales for the inter-colonial postage to Melbourne and overseas postage from Victoria to destination. Route - P&O Line: Departed Melbourne 14 June 1860 per “Malta” via Galle (9 July) to Suez (27 July); overland to Alexandria; “Massilia” (28 July) via Malta (31 July) to Southampton (9 Aug); by rail to London arriving 10 August 1860 (57 days).

As an incentive, the Government reduced rates for mail carried by the non-packet ship letters or 'long sea route' to just 4 d. for a ½ ounce letter. The higher rates applied for just four P&O sailings on 22nd of July, August, September and October 1864. This cover is believed to be the sole surviving example of a rate decrease 'long sea route' cover as the 'incentive' was abandoned in November 1864. Provenance: Collection Druce, Forster.
