1894 & 1897 covers to Victoria from Menton (France) or Brousse (= Bursa, in Turkey) respectively, each with two corners clipped apparently for disinfection purposes. Also a lovely hand-tinted newspaper illustration (227x126mm) of 'The Quarantine Station', which we have confirmed is the Point Nepean facility, pencilled "29/9/77" at lower-right is likely the publication date: there is a reference on the reverse to the death of the bushranger, Martin Cash on "Sunday August 26th" which we have confirmed was in 1877.

1898 (Apr 26) water-damaged illustrated Carolin & Co Farm Machinery (Bendigo) advertising cover with the stamp washed-off, to Tasmania resealed with red wax & a very fine impression of the 'POST OFFICE/ [crown]/LAUNCESTON TASMANIA' mailbag seal, endorsed on the flap "recovered from/wreck of Manawatu", Launceston transit & 'CRESSY' arrival b/s both of JU2/98, minor immersion blemishes still of remarkably fine appearance: plus the elaborately illustrated enclosed letter. Ex Lewis Viney, Howard Longden - sold in 2001 for £1647 - and Robin Gwynn. The most visually appealing of the three recorded covers from this shipwreck: illustrated by Hoggarth & Gwynn at page 93 and by Brian Peace at page 206. [The 'Manawatu' departed Melbourne 27.4.1898. Off Williamstown, she suddenly altered course, smashing into the coastal steamer 'Edina', and sinking in shallow water] (2)
