Guadeloupe
Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
1030 c   image1762 First British Occupation of Guadeloupe folded letter to Marseilles originating from Saint Pierre on Martinique Island, which was then also conquered by the British, where it was rated "2e", 2 escalines, struck on reverse in transit with British "Guadaloupe" straight line handstamp in brown-black, carried via London with Bishop mark alongside, "1N6" 1/ 6d rating notation on front, in addition showing "30" centimes also in manuscript on obverse to be collected on receipt, very fine.During the Seven Years War, Guadeloupe was occupied by the British in April 1759, and Martinique on March 2, 1762. Both were handed back to French administration in July 1763. In Martinique no British postal markings were into usage at that time, meanwhile in Guadeloupe, during this first period of British occupation, only this straight line handstamp, 56x6mm, was into use. The only item recorded giving evidence to the usage of this British postmark, with its desirability being further enhanced by the fact of representing an extraordinary letter featuring the British occupation of both territories, Guadeloupe and Martinique, in this early period (Robson Lowe HS1, Jamet 1).

Lt. Col. J.A. Farquharson was the leader of the expeditionary force which captured most of these territories; in 1815 he became Governor of St. Martin and Guadeloupe.
