2218   imageFrance, 1870-71, Siege of Paris: Pigeon Post, two actual microfilms of official dispatches carried by Steenacker's pigeons, one 30x55mm and holding 16 pages of documents, the other 30x22mm; also a contemporary photographic print of a third microfilm on collodion paper (39x52mm), the last from the "Lafollye" album and not flown; also included are two unused slightly different forms on which a correspondent could answer four "yes" or "no" questions to be microfilmed to be sent into Paris; one of them is pre-franked with an unused 1862 5c Napoleon (Scott 23), Very Fine, a very scarce group.
Estimate $500 - 750

The pigeon post was used to get news of the outside world into Paris during the siege. Homing pigeons were carried out of Paris on the same balloons that carried the mail. Messages from unoccupied France were collected, microfilmed (many on a single piece of film) and placed in capsules attached to the pigeons, which were then released to fly back to Paris. Once back in Paris the microfilms were projected onto large screens from which they were individually transcribed onto forms similar to telegraph forms, and forwarded to their intended recipients. The service began on
September 27, 1870 and formally ended on January 31, 1871. During the four months of the pigeon post's existence, more than a million messages were carried into Paris by pigeon.

P. F. Steenackers was Director-General of Telegraphs and Posts (including pigeons) at Tours, one of the two cities where the pigeons were based (the other being Poitiers). It was Steenacker who saw the value of the microfilm in this endeavor. (Image) (Image2)
