Our cover of the month:
May 2010
Cover sent from London to Veracruz and carried on the French Packet 'Louisiane' in September 1863. Taken from an article on British mail by French Packets in TPO Journal 308. See French Sea Posts and French Ligne Cancellations for related information.
December 2009
A recent find - Sarawak TPO Mark: "PBB 4 / K1". PBB = Pejabat Pos Berbenk = Mobile Post Office. What a pretty cover to brighten our winter days (in the Northern Hemisphere anyhow!)
August 2009
From BRAZIL: a fine printed card from Brazil with strikes of double round circular TPO mark "RIO-CLARO/ 7 OUT 1902 /(AMBe.S.PAULO)" and TPO double round circular "TREM - AMBULANTE / 7 OUT/ 3a.T" mark together with an octagonal cancel "BUENOS AYRES A BORDEAUX 2o / 8 OCT 02 / L.K.No.2" indicating that it was sorted on board the French Seapost Line K on its way to Germany. The French sea post office 'Ligne K' operated between Buenos Ayres and Bordeaux. Was lot 150 in our Autumn 2009 auction. See also French Sea Posts (Ligne K).
