 1902 (Feb 15) The British South Africa Company, Rhodesia envelope with logo in red on side flap, registered to England with BSAC
Small Arms 1d rose and Large Arms Die I 3d brown & blue and 1/- green & blue tied by largely fine Nothern Rhodesia 'FORT JAMESON' cds, superb Nyasaland 'CHINDE/F/MR 6/02/B.C.A' transit backstamp, London & Bournemouth 'REGISTERED' transits on the face
where repaired with a pair of 'FOUND OPEN AND/OFFICIALLY SEALED' labels plus margin, then re-directed and 'BLANDFORD/AP 14/02' arrival on the reverse, minor edge marks. Although Rhodesia joined the UPU on 1.3.1901, the overseas letter rate remained
at the pre-UPU 4d per ½oz level until reduced to 2½d on 1.12.1902. Thus, the rate was triple 4d per ½oz letter plus 4d registration fee.

 1902 (Nov 12) The Bulawayo Chronicle newspaper wrapper with annual subscription prices printed on reverse, to London with BSAC Arms
Die I 1d scarlet & emerald x2 and Die II 6d mauve & rose tied by untidy Bulawayo cds, a little roughly opened at top & minor blemishes. The rate is unclear: Rhodesia joined the UPU on 1.3.1901, adopting its 1d per 2oz overseas newspaper rate. It is
unlikely that this wrapper would have been able to hold 16oz of newspaper, and apparently paid double the pre-UPU 4d per ½oz letter rate.

 POSTAL HISTORY: Large Gold Medal Five Frame Exhibit of 'Russian Mail via Austrian Galicia to General Postal Union 1875' mostly
prestamp mail originating in Russia and carried by the four different trans-Galicia Routes to Western or Southern Europe, highlighting the often complex rate structures, the sometimes volatile political situation, the importance of border-exchange
offices, and the impact of burgeoning communications especially the expansion of railway networks. Many items originated in the Crimes, also from Taganrog, Ukraine, Moscow, St Petersburg, Polish towns, etc. Destinations include Trieste, Hungary, the
various Italian States, Spain, France and the German States notably Prussia. In general, the quality is fine to very fine but, as is characteristic of such material, filing folds, soiling and minor imperfections should be expected. Ex Ross Marshall,
the exhibit has three times been awarded Large Gold at major American shows, including Reserve Grand Champion, and again at Royalpex 2017 (NZ). Please see our website for scans of the entire exhibit.
Galicia is an historical region north of the Carpathian Mountains, spanning parts of Poland and the Ukraine. The First Partition of Poland, in 1772, saw it annexed by Austria. The Third Partition in 1795 resulted in Russia & Austria having a common
Galician border. The area subsequently devolved to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After World War I, Galicia was controversially awarded to the newly-independent Poland, much to the chagrin of the ethnic Ukrainians.
