MERCANTILE PAPERS - ORIGINAL GIANT "UNIFORM Penny Postage... A PETITION Lies here...ONLY ONE DAY" POSTER: Very large [c.4] July 1839 wall poster (c.24 inches wide by 19½ inches high) produced by the 'Mercantile Committee on Postage' for the final stage of their campaign for Cheap Postage, encouraging Londoners to sign Petitions in favour of Uniform Penny Postage, just before the final crucial votes in Parliament. This is MP3/12 of which only two other examples have been recorded, and this is in the best condition of the three, having been carefully professionally backed with only two main folds, and only having a few letters affected (see JG-T's "International Postal Reforms", pp.338-341 for the listings of all recorded Mercantile Papers). Spectacular Exhibition Item that would easily fit within an Exhibition frame. [Ex the John Dillon set of Mercantile Papers, 1998.] Cross Reference: UNIFORM 1d POSTAGE PERIOD (Image)

DUKE OF WELLINGTON COVER TO BELGIUM - 1d BLACK REMOVED BY P.O.(?) IN TRANSIT!: Small 22 Sept. 1840 E (one side-flap removed; the address and the last line of contents - "...thought them very fine" in the Duke's distinctive hand) from "WALMER" (UDC on flap) to "Lady Burghleigh" in Brussels. A 1d Black had originally been affixed (by the Duke presumably) but at the P.O. his servant was told that letters to Belgium (and several other countries) now had to be fully prepaid (PO Notice of 2nd Sept. 1840)... As a result the 1d Black was scraped off (for re-use by the Duke??!) and 1s-6d paid in cash; hence there is a red ms "1/6" and a smaller (Walmer?) black ms "Pd 1/6" on the front. The latter endorsement and a very fine red London transit tombstone "PAID" ds overlap the remains/space left by the 1d Black, and there are the usual transit marks of Dover, Ostend and Brussels on the reverse. Possibly a unique example of a 1d Black removed from an overseas letter when posted, and an extraordinary Duke of Wellington item! [BPA Cert. (1994)] Cross Reference: POSTAGE DUE MARKS, OVERSEAS DESTINATIONS, BELGIUM, KENT (Image)
