Austrian Consular Post Offices, Roman; 1866ca (March 9): Quadruple rate Envelope to Czernovitz, Bukowina, bearing 1864 Arms 10 s. blue (single example and pair) and 15 s. brown (2), all perf. 9½, five fresh and
fine examples with good perforation and well embossed, a dazzling franking from this elusive post office, tied by four strikes of the scarce ROMAN cds in black (Tchilinghirian fig 772). Reverse with wreathed JASSY transit and
CZERNOWITZ arrival cds (March 12). Minor edge wear, of no importance due to the unique nature of this cover, the only franked cover recorded from ROMAN, unknown to Gmach, illustrated in Edition d'Or volume 72 on page 61, cert.
Puschmann (2008). Note 1: As the actual year of despatch is not clear, the rate of the cover can only be guessed. A despatch in March 1864 as suggested by a former owner of this cover is impossible as the first Arms adhesives
perforated 14 came into use not earlier than April 1864. If sent in March 1865 or 1866, this was a quadruple letter, if sent in March 1867 this was a sixfold letter. Note 2: The receiver of the letter was Alexandru Hurmuzachi (1823-1871), a Romanian publicist , socio-political figure, lawyer, journalist, and folklorist. Provenance: Collection Julius Steindler.
