30000   imageLETTER FROM QUEEN VICTORIA TO THE TYCOON OF JAPAN THE EMPEROR KOMEI 1865, Signed letter from Queen Victoria in the twenty-eighth year of her reign, addressed to the Tycoon of Japan the Emperor Komei. Including the original envelope carried by diplomatic mail, addressed to "The High, Mighty, and Glorious Prince His Imperial and Royal Majesty The Tycoon of Japan, Our Good Brother and Cousin!", with Royal dry seal with coat of arms on reverse (torn on opening) "VICTORIA DEI GRATIA BRITANNIARUM REG.F.D" (REG F. D. for "regina fidei defensor"), "Victoria by the Grace of God Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith", as well as "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE" for "shamed be whoever thinks ill of it". The letter begins with "Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (...) to the most High, Mighty, and Glorious Prince, His Imperial and Royal Majesty the Tycoon of Japan (...)". The missive continue with: "the services of Our Trusty and Well beloved Sir Rutherford Alcock, Knight Commander of Our Most Honourable Order of the Bath, who for some time resided at the Court of Your Imperial and Royal majesty in the Character of Our Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, we cannot omit to notify to You that his functions in that capacity, have terminated (...) being however anxious to maintain without interruption the Relations of Friendship and good Understanding which happily subsists between Our respective Empires (...)". Then stating that Sir Harry Smith Parkes will be the person appointed to replace Sir Rutherford Alcock in this position. Before the signature of the Queen, the letter concludes with "Your Imperial and Royal Majesty's affectionate Sister and Cousin", signed "Victoria R" as Queen, and below we find the "Russell" signature from the Secretary of State Lord John Russel. An early and extremely rare Queen Victoria - Tenno Komei letter, including the envelope and a significant missive, from the period when Japan started to open outwards.(Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3) (Image 4) (Image 5)

30007 1I image1871, 48 mon brown, plate 1, position 39, a well margined single displaying an excellent impression and rich colour, ideally tied by framed "Saikyo Ken" to reverse of Saikyo local cover, showing on front clear strikes of framed "(year of ) Water Ape 11th Month 13th Day / Saikyo Post Office" (Gregorian 13 December 1872) and framed "Afternoon Delivery" hs, both in red, and circular "Muro" of Muromachi "Hakoba" (mail deposit place). Cover backed up and opened for display having slight insect damage not affecting the stamp. Certs Philatelic Federation of Japan (2011), Florian Eichhorn BPP (2023). To our knowledge, twelve single frankings of the 48 mon are recorded, of which eight are in private hands, with this undoubtedly being one of the finest. Note: A special reduced inner-city mail rate of 48 mon per each 4 momme was introduced at Saikyo/Kyoto and Osaka at Meiji 4.12.5 . Before that date, the 48 mon value was intended to pay the fractions certain postal increment above the single weight, as it did not suffice to pay the single weight letter rate. Saikyo was a temporary renaming of Kyoto during the Meiji era, between Meiji 4 and Meiji 9 (1871-ca1876). Provenance: Frederick H. Gloeckner (Kanai Stamp Co. June 25th 1967 lot 1) Census of the twelve 48 mon single frankings on cover we have documented: -The example presented here -17.9.1871: Yokohama to Tokyo, in the Tejima collection -14.10.1871: Yokohama to Tokyo, in the Kanai collection (The Philatelic Culture Museum) -14.11.1871: Tokyo to Yokohama, ex Fukuhara collection -1.12.1871: Yokohama to Tokyo, in the Tejima collection -2.12.1871: Yokohama to Tokyo, in the Suzuki collection -27.5.1872 Saikyo City drop letter, in the Nathaniel collection -15.7.1872: Saikyo City drop letter, in the Tejima collection -24.12.1872: Saikyo City drop letter, in the Tejima collection -20.1.1873: Saikyo City to Osaka area, ex Peplow and in the Suzuki collection -30.1.1873: Saikyo City drop letter, in the Kanai collection (The Philatelic Culture Museum) -16.2 (year unavailable): From Tokyo to Yokohama, in the Kanai collection (The Philatelic Culture Museum)(Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)

30008 1I imageTHE ONLY RECORDED COMBINATION COVER WITH A PRIVATE COURIER BEARING THE "NUMBER ONE" 1871, 48 mon brown, plate 1, vertical strip of four, positions 8 / 16 / 32 / 40, mainly good margins, tied by large "Nagoya Kensazumi" hs to reverse of cover (opened for display) from Nagoya (Owari) to Yamada (Ise), dated lunar 1st month 11th day (Gregorian 27 February, 1872), showing below superb strike of framed three-line Ise Yamada handstamp of the local Suzukiya Takeuemon courier company. Insect hole damage, affecting the stamp at base and parts of the cover (backed), still though perfectly preserving the superb strike of the courier company. Cert. Florian Eichhorn BPP (2023). Fourteen State Post - private courier combination covers are documented exhibiting the "Dragon" (10) or "Cherry Blossom" (4) stamps. See "Hiyaku to Yubin" (private couriers and state mails) by Mr. Yamazaki Yoshiyuki, Narumi publishers 2016, pp. 135/148 and 306/318. This is the only known cover with the first stamp of Japan, which was carried through the state postal service and then a local private courier mail handler. Illustrated in the Dr. Ichida's handbook on "Dragon" issues, second edition of 1971, page 13. Note: The state postal connection between Nagoya and Yamada (Ise) existed only up to Yokkaichi (Ise). Consequently it required the service of a "hikyaku" (literally "flying feet", private courier company) to deliver the mail. The company Suzukiya Takeuemon, which was used in the carriage of this letter, was already established since 1776 (Ansei 5). The 200 mon rate covered the Nagoya-Yokkaichi route and was paid with the stamps, according to the single rate for 4 nomme within a distance of 50 ri. The combination service of State Post and "hikyaku" west of Osaka was possible during 18 months only, between Meiji 4.8. and Meiji 6.3.31. Provenance: Watanabe Yoshio(Image 1) (Image 2)
