470 cover imageDDSG Shipmail in the Aegean Sea, 1839ca.: Part letter to
Constantinople with missing first page including provenance and
date information, struck by extremely rare oval ornamental "D.S.G.
/ MARIA DOROTIA" handstamp in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 280;
unknown to Hurt & Kelly), this ship's cancellation applied on board
of the first DDSG vessel, the 'Maria Dorothea' coming in service in
1834 and running on the Smyrna - Constantinople as well as
Salonicco - Constantinople lines. Cert. Goller (2026). Note: The
only ship's cancellation known from the pre-1845 period. The
misspelling with 'D.S.G.' instead of 'D.D.S.G.' and DOROTIA instead
of the Italian DOROTEA speaks for a local production of the
handstamp. Rarity: The present cover is one of two recorded with a
DSG MARIA DOROTIA handstamp, both from the same correspondence and
in the same handwriting to Giudici & Coressi in Constantinople.
Both part letters have the first page missing which presumably
included place and date of the writing. Prof Vondrazek deducted
from other letters in the same handwriting that this cover was
despatched in Smyrna and made its journey on the 'Maria Dorothea'
to Constantinople. Tchilinghirian & Stephen give Salonico and
1839ca. as place and date of despatch of the two covers which had
been in 1963 in the collections of Mr. Rathje, Copenhagen and Leon
Dubus, respectively. Provenance: Collection Leon Dubus (1963).
Reference: Displayed and discussed in the publication "Der
Postdienst der Ersten k.k. priv.
Donau-Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft" by Prof. Vodrazka. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
