The Chip Gliedman Collection of 12c 1861-68 Issue: Switzerland
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2059 c Image12c Black (69). S.e. at right, tied by circle of V's cancel on 30c Green on Buff entire (U72) to Vevey, Switzerland, refolded from legal to letter size by the sender prior to use, red "Boston Br. Pkt. Paid Mar. 14" circular datestamp, sender's directive "Per French Mail, Str. Asia" at upper left, 1866 French transits, red crayon "36" credit, transit and receiving backstamps

VERY FINE. A SPECTACULAR COMBINATION OF THE 12-CENT 1861 ISSUE AND 30-CENT "PUMPKIN" POSTAL ENTIRE FOR THE DOUBLE 21-CENT FRENCH MAIL RATE TO SWITZERLAND.

This entire is one of three known, all from one Boston writer to correspondents in France (Marcou) and Switzerland (Daves), including a 1c 1861 on 20c entire (ex Ishikawa) and 3c on 12c entire (1995 Rarities Sale). All were originally large envelopes, skillfully refolded before mailing by someone whose preference for small-size covers nicely anticipated modern collecting tastes.

These covers were described in an article by Chip Gliedman ("Cut Down Postal Stationery from the 1861 Era," Chronicle 230 -- this cover was pictured on the front cover). Regarding the addressee on this cover (and the 1c on 20c entire), Gliedman wrote: "Both these covers are addressed to the same recipient, who, upon closer examination, is actually E. G. Daves, rather than Davis, as described in the auction catalog. Edward Graham Daves (1833-1894) was a North Carolina-born, Harvard-trained lawyer who taught Greek at Trinity College in Connecticut until 1861 when he went to Europe and 'for ten years remained abroad giving instruction to English youth on the shores of Lake Geneva, or traveling with his pupils.' As Vevey is on the north shore of Lake Geneva, there is little doubt that Professor Daves was the recipient of these two covers."
