VI 6 A/B), margins clear to fine, used on 1856 Larkworthy correspondence cover from Kalk Bay to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia tied by CGH obliterators in black; the reverse with oval framed "KALK BAY" datestamp of despatch (March 12) in red, CAPE TOWN oval framed datestamp in red and CAPE TOWN / CAPE OF GOOD HOPE cds both of the same day. The cover travelled on the brig "Prairie" which arrived at the Cape on January 22, 1856, spending time in port and undergoing a change of Captains with James R. Caithness appointed as master for the onward leg of the voyage. The "Prairie" sailed on March 24th for Melbourne and she ran aground in a gale off Cape Otway, Victoria approaching Port Philip Bay and was dismasted and grounded on the Coast of Northern Tasmania on May 26th. She was later re-floated and repaired with the mail picked up by the "Titania" arriving at Melbourne on June 16, 1856 with reverse showing "SHIP LETTER / GPO MELBOURNE cds (June 19) in red. Rare - the sole recorded Wreck Cover bearing Cape Triangular adhesives. Note: The Master, James Ramsey Caithness, was an unlucky or perhaps incompetent mariner with six of the ships he was associated with coming to grief in dramatic style. In 1844 it was the schooner "Mary" in Algoa Bay, in 1848 the brig "Lady Leith" on Thunderbolt Reef, in 1851 the "Diadem" at Plettenberg Bay; in 1854 the "Sea Gull" in Table Bay and in April 1855 the tragic "Flying Dragon" was consumed by fire. There was one more disaster in 1856, not in South African waters but off Melbourne, when he was in command of the brigantine "Prairie".

1855/63: 4 d. blue on white paper, a pair (Pos. X 3 B/A) with just
shaved to good margins, used on 1857 double rate entire letter from
Graaff Reinet to Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA neatly tied by CGH
obliterator in black. Reverse with oval framed "GRAAFF REINET"
despatch datestamp in red (July 29), oval framed CAPE TOWN and CAPE
TOWN / CAPE OF GOOD HOPE cds in red (Aug 3). Carried on the bark
"Chieftain" which left Cape Town on August 5th, arriving in London
(Oct 15) with red cds on reverse and "ART - 2" Convention marking
in black (Van der Linden surprisingly omitted) referring to GB-US
Treaty of 15 Dec 1848. Thence via Liverpool and carried on Cunard
Line steamer "Persia" to New York with circular "NEW YORK / BR.
PKT." arrival (Oct 28) in black. A delightful entire of great
rarity (the Dr. Guy Dillaway census records just 10 Transatlantic
Cape Triangular covers) this being one of the finest and most
attractive of the few known. Note: Rates - Cape of Good Hope 8 d.
paid for internal double rate cover under 1 ounce (the port fee
charge of 4 d. was abolished on 1 Ausgust 1857, just two days
earlier). Manuscript "1/4 d." would have been charged (double the 8
d. ship fee) had the letter been delivered to England, thus
deleted. However the "2/6 d." manuscript charge is made up of the
original 1 s. 4 d. + a further 1 s. for postage to USA + 2 d. for
the cover being handled twice by the British P.O. = 2/6 d. This
translates as 60 cents American (crossed through) plus double the
inland charge of 5 cents = 70 cents to pay upon receipt.

I 2 B) with close to good margins all round, used on 1860 cover endorsed "Per first Ship via Mauritius & Australia" tied by CGH triangular obliterator in black. Reverse with circular CAPE TOWN / CAPE OF GOOD HOPE datestamp in red (Aug 27) and obverse with circular "AUCKLAND / NEW ZEALAND" arrival datestamp (Jan 25, 1861). Carried on the "Eagle", and trans-shipped to the P&O Steamer "Bihar" at Galle, thence via Melbourne (Dec 14), Sydney (Dec 17) and thence carried by the Inter-Colonial Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. Just eight covers bearing Cape Triangulars are recorded to New Zealand. A fine and extremely scarce cover to an extremely rare destination. Note: The addressee, Falconer Larkworthy (1833-1928), was born in Weymouth, UK and at the age of 16 joined a London firm of merchants trading with India. He was posted to Mauritius and then to Cape Town and thereafter to Victoria where he gained Banking experience with the Oriental Banking Corporation in the goldfields in North East Victoria. In 1860 he was transferred to manage the Oriental's branch in Auckland, New Zealand. Once gold discoveries were made in May 1861 in Otago, Larkworthy stayed on using the experience he had gained in Victoria to facilitate a gold export business for the Oriental Bank. He returned to London, joining the Commercial Union Assurance Co. in 1863 as a Director. Provenance: Collection Dr. Albert Louis, Corinphila sale 222, Zurich, 28 May-1 June 2018, lot 2095.
