Romanian Post, Treaty with Austria; 1869 (May 10): Mourning
Envelope ...more Romanian Post, Treaty with Austria; 1869 (May 10): Mourning Envelope from Ismail to Syra, Greece, endorsed "via Constantinopoli", bearing 1869 Prince Carol 15 bani vermillion and 25 bani orange & blue, margins from shaved to large, tied by double-circle ornamental ISMAIL datestamp in blue (Kiriac fig. 401), straight-line JSMAIL and framed "P.D." in the same ink alongside, but also italic "P.P." of the Constantinopel office. Reverse with double-circle GALATI and Austrian CONSTANTINOPEL transit cds's as well as SYROS arrival cds (May 11, julian). An appealing and interesting item, the Romanian 40 bani franking paying the journey only to Constantinople but not to Greece, this was however neglected by the Greek post which charged the cover only with "20" lepta in blue crayon for the Greek inland journey, paid with 20 lepta blue. Underpaid mail was in principal not allowed by the regulations, a rare item full of postal history, illustrated in Edition d'Or volume 72 on page 133, cert. Heimbüchler (2016).
