5068 cover image1842: The Cape Frontier Times, Volume III, Graham's Town, Thursday May 12, 1842, No. 106; a used example of this four page Newspaper published from the Cape 'border', with much of the content dominated by the settler's relationship with the "kafirs", but much of interest including the death of Chief Tyali with an announcement from the Lieutenant Governor in order to prevent a rush of settlers trying to steal land, the death of Chief Yalie at Chumie River etc.; together with a list of the salesmen of the Newspaper in the major towns of the Cape; the Newspaper being franked at upper right corner of the first page with 1 d. rose imperforate Newspaper Tax stamp tied by manuscript address "His Grace the Arch. Bishop of Canterbury" with partial London arrival datestamp alongside in red. A rare surviving Newspaper and a rarity in used condition. Note: For a further example of a slightly earlier Cape Frontier Times Newspaper, see the Burrus Collection, RL, London 27 Nov 1962, lot 1, which was originally in the collection of Ferrary who claimed this was the World's first Official stamp as it pre-dated the VR 1d. black.

The Newspaper is franked at upper right corner of the first page with 1 d. rose imperforate Newspaper Tax stamp with "♚ / GENERAL POST OFFICE / CAPE OF GOOD HOPE" datestamp in black (July 12) at left. As with the previous lot, this Newspaper was sent to the Archbishop of Canterbury. A rare surviving Newspaper and a rarity in used condition.
