Austrian Post Offices in the Dobrudja, Sulina, 1856 (Sept 8): Entire letter from Sulina to Patras, Greece, struck with oval framed "AGENZIA DEL LLOYD AUSTRIACO / Sulina" in greenish black, somewhat obscured but
unrecorded by Blistyar and Tchilinghirian, arrival backstamp (Sept 26, julian), the cover charged with '20' lepta in red crayon. A great rarity of the Austrian Lloyd offices, there exists only one other cover with this fore-runner cancellation despatched in January 1856 to Galati, ex Brandt, Garmiryan, Arsman & Smith. Cert. Goller (2026). Note: The presumably combined Lloyd & Consular Post Office at Sulina only opened in 1858 after Sulina was no more
belonging to Russia after the lost Crimean War. Reference: Displayed and discussed in Gmach, vol. IV on page 400. Provenance: Collection Oscar, DF sale Feb 2000, lot 10448. (Image 1)
