Lot 1854

Lot 1854
INCOMING MAIL. 50 Cent nr. 27H op envelop (3 zijden geopend) van Hellevoetsluis 13-7-1876 naar een vuurstoker 1e klasse aan boord van Z.M. Stoomschip Zilverkruis te 'Curacouw of elders per mijl', via London 15-7 naar Curaçao 5-8-1876. Het tarief van 50 cent is voor een brief van 0-15 gr. correct tussen 16-2-1876 en 1-5-1877 (zie: HPN tarieflijst D 16, TAR-D-47, opmerking f). Toch is de zegel met pen doorgehaald (waar, wanneer en door wie?), waarnaast met blauw potlood 85 is geschreven, en tevens met pen nog een portnotitie. Op de achterzijde staat een afdruk van een rechthoekig stempel uit Londen (?) 'N.P.B. / A / 15 JY 76' (News Paper Branche?). Ons zijn drie brieven vanuit Nederland naar Curaçao uit juli 1876 bekend waarvan de zegel(s) met de pen zijn doorgehaald (veiling 541, kavel 2700 kopie bijgevoegd). Post naar Curaçao in die tijd is zeer zeldzaam! 50 Cent to make up the rate for letters between 0-15 grams (from 16 Feb 1876 until 1 May 1877) on cover (opened on 3 sides) from Hellevoetsluis 13 July 1876 to a frie starter 1st class on the steamship Zilverkruis at Curaçao or somewhere else, arrival pmk 5 Aug 1876. However a line has been drawn over the stamps with a pen (where, when and by who?), obviously because of insufficiently paid postage. On the back also a rectangular postmark from London (?) 'N.P.B. / A / 15 JY 76' (News Paper Branche?). We know of 3 such covers from the Netherlands to Curaçao from July 1876 with stamps crossed out with a pen (photocopy of the 3rd cover added). See: Sven Påhlman, Postal Routes... (2021), Table 4.12, p.85
Starting price: € 500,00
