2140 cover imagePostal Services prior to 1836 - The Bergen-Christiania and Bergen-Molde routes; 1733 (Dec 8): Entire letter from Bergen to Leith, United Kingdom, noted received on 12 February 1734. A faint manuscript '1' at top left may be the bill number from Bergen to Christiania. Postal markings are lacking leaving the route open for discussion with the possibility of travelling on a merchant ship to Leith or some other harbour in Great Britain or alternatively routing on the Bergen - Christiania weekly post which departed on the day of despatch. Independent of the route chosen this is the earliest recorded letter sent abroad from Bergen proving the slow mail connections towards Europe and in particular Great Britain at that time. Note: The sender was James Wallace, from Banff in Scotland who served as a merchant burgess of Bergen from 4 December 1727. It is directed to William Caldwell, a merchant in Leith from 1720 to 1734 (Image 1) (Image 2)

2144 cover imagePostal Services prior to 1836 - International mail connection via Sognefjorden to/from Bergen; 1799 (Aug 17): Entire letter from Bergen to Schiedam, Netherlands, partly prepaid until Amsterdam, endorsed "fr. Amst."

Attractive prepaid cover to the Netherlands, rare as such. Note: Until 1821 and the establishment of the first sea route to Denmark, all foreign sea mail was sent via Sweden while foreign mail to and from Bergen made its journey along the Bergen - Christiania route through the Sognefjorden area. Hence this connection was important for mail between the two largest Norwegian cities and as a gateway to abroad (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
