New Republic & Transvaal 1888 (Aug 18): Registered envelope to
Bordeaux bearing New Republic 2 d. (4 Jan 87) on blue granite paper
without embossed Arms, in combination with Transvaal 1883 re-issue
1 d. (3), 1885 6 d. blue, 1885 'HALF PENNY' on 1 s. green and 1887
'2d' on 3 d. mauve overprint type 24 (2, one damaged), all tied by
oval VRYHEID datestamp in violet with year error '87', red
manuscript registration number, LONDON and Calais à Paris TPO
datestamps on front, reverse with DUNDEE and DURBAN transit as well
as arrival datestamps. The envelope with large part cut away from
reverse, nevertheless a scarce and fascinating usage. Note: This
letter was posted less than a month after the New Republic became
part of Transvaal. Transvaal postage stamps were already available
in Vryheid. The postage rate to France from Transvaal was 9½ d. via
the Cape Colony and 7½ d. via Natal, the registration fee was 4 d.
The 2 d. New Republic internal charge should no longer have
applied, but was nevertheless paid by the sender. From the transit
marks this letter followed the more convenient and chaeper route
through Natal and is thus 4 d. overpaid. Provenance: Robert Siegel,
New York, September 2000, lot 2274A
