1932 (June 4), ‘ACCIDENT DE MER’ handstamp on cover from Constantine to Paris, originating in Constantine, Algeria, with stamp(s) washed off in transit, bearing black handstamp with red underlining reading "ACCIDENT DE MER" at lower right, applied in Marseille; a scarce and intriguing maritime disaster cover.
Although little is known about the incident, it likely occurred between 4 and 6 June 1932 on the Algeria–France mail route. No mailboat loss was officially recorded by the French postal ministry, but evidence suggests a fire aboard a vessel was extinguished by flooding the hold—one recorded cover shows burn damage, while others, including this example, exhibit varying degrees of water damage.(Image)

1853 (June 27), stampless folded letter from Barracas to Marseille, France, via London, endorsed "per steamer Englisch [sic] via Southampton", with bold red boxed Colonies &c Art. 13 handstamp credit handstamp, black Angl. Calais entry datestamp (14 Aug), and manuscript "16" decimes accountancy markings, reverse with partial Buenos Aires departure, partial red London / Paid transit (13 Aug), black Paris transit (14 Aug), and Marseille arrival (16 Aug), horizontal fold and small imperfections, else a fine letter with contents of historical interest.
The letter reports on the volatile atmosphere following the 1852 Battle of Caseros and the fall of the Rosas dictatorship: a "division of the army" is passing through Barracas with "arms and baggage" under a "general alert," with further military defections anticipated. Although the writer suggests the political position is clearing up, he remains wary of "insignificant parties" and a landscape where one must "always be on guard." Local inflation is described with equal unease, the sender noting that "everything is expensive," with high prices for beef, cows, and hides forcing reliance on a pulpería (tavern) established in the countryside to "give drink and sell new things to the gauchos." To ensure these observations reached Europe, duplicates were despatched via the Arago, Gaston, and Pascale.(Image)
