cover

Overland via Marseilles 1864 (Oct 22): Cover from Hunters Hill, New South Wales to Locarno, Switzerland bearing 1862 New South Wales Diadem 6 d. reddish-purple, perf. 13, small tear at top, cancelled by rays numeral “221” of Hunters Hill (rated RRR in “The Numeral Cancellations of New South Wales” by Freeman), prepaying 6 d. and underpaid 1 s. 4 d. for a ½ ounce ship letter of 1 s. 10 d. to Switzerland. “90” (rappen) manuscript in red for internal postage to be paid by the recipient. Unusually, mail from New South Wales to Switzerland is very scarce, with the Swiss immigrants following the Victorian gold rushes and not venturing north over the border. A small portion of the backflap is missing and minor soiling confined to reverse, otherwise fine and a very scarce destination for New South Wales. Route - P&O Line: Departed Sydney 22 Oct 1864 per “Bombay” to Galle (15 Nov); “Simla” (17 Nov) to Suez (3 Dec); overland to Alexandria; “Euxine” (5 Dec) via Malta (8 Dec) to Marseilles; by rail from Marseilles (11 Dec) to Locarno, arriving 16 Dec 1864 (55 days). Note: The temporary rates increase appears to have only applied to mail to Great Britain. This envelope was addressed to Switzerland, and routed via Marseilles which avoided the British mail system and the potential postage due. However, it was still grossly underpaid, and not identified by the postal officials of either New South Wales or Switzerland. Provenance: Collection Davis, 'Alvarado'. (Image 1) (Image 2)

Overland via Brindisi 1870 (Nov 5): Cover from Sydney, New South Wales to London endorsed "per Malta via Marseilles" bearing 1863 New South Wales 2 d. cobalt-blue, Diadem 6 d. violet and 1 s. crimson-lake, cancelled by Sydney duplex prepaying 1 s. 8 d. for a double rate 1 ounce ship letter via Marseilles and underpaid 6 d. for the redirected 2 s. 2 d. rate via Brindisi. Fine strike of the “INSUFFICIENTLY PAID / FOR BRINDISI ROUTE / DEFICIENT POSTAGE / d3” handstamp in black applied in London. Cover slightly fore-shortened at left and minor stain spots, otherwise fine and most attractive. Note: Given this envelope was a double rate letter, the fine should have been 6 d., not 3 d.

Nine covers recorded from New South Wales with this Deficient Postage handstamp, this being the sole example of a double rate cover.

In the last 3 years we had no rain and until now we had some but so little that nothing grows and half of the stock is dead since no water was available to drink. There is winter here at the moment. We have Christmas in the middle of summer and it is so hot that we hardly get out of the house.” (Image 1) (Image 2)
