Overland via Marseilles 1857 (Dec 16): Internally illustrated
lettersheet depicting the goldfields at Castlemaine, used from
Melbourne, Victoria to the City State of Hamburg bearing 1854
Victoria Octagonal 1 s. blue imperforate, 1854 Woodblock 2 s. dull
greenish blue and 1857 Emblem 4 d. dull rose, each with margins in
places, cancelled by barred numeral “1” of Melbourne and prepaying
3 s. 4 d. for a double rate 1 ounce ship letter to Hamburg. "50"
(schillings) manuscript in red for forwarding to be paid upon
receipt. Transit datestamps on obverse and reverse record the
journey with a very fine strike of the Hamburg arrival datestamp
(Feb 4). An important historical lettersheet in very fine
condition. Route - European and Australian Royal Mail Co: Departed
Melbourne 16 Dec 1857 per “European” via Galle (9 Jan 1858) to Suez
(24 Jan); overland to Alexandria. Royal Mail Steam Packet Co:
“Tamar” (26 Jan) to Malta (29 Jan); "Vanguard” to Marseilles (1
Feb); by rail from Marseilles via Paris to Hamburg, arriving 4 Feb
1857 (49 days). Note: Unrecorded in "Pre-UPU Mail of Victoria" by
Ben Palmer and one of the earliest covers recorded to the City
State of Hamburg known. Note: This illustrated lettersheet depicts
the newly discovered gold mining town of Castlemaine. Gold was
discovered at Mount Alexander, near Castlemaine in July 1851 and by
the end of the year, there were 25,000 people at the diggings. The
lettersheet was illustrated by Nicholas Chevalier, with his
monogram at the lower left and published by A. T. Hodgson of
Castlemaine. It is interesting to note that besides a depiction of
the new gold town, in the foreground are two Chinese miners, one of
the earliest images of Chinese miners recorded in the Australian
Colonies. Chevalier was one of the most prominent colonial artists,
emigrating to Victoria in 1854. For the next 15 years he painted
throughout Victoria, before returning to London in 1869. Based in
London, he was a continual exhibitor at the Academy until his death
in 1902. This lettersheet is very rare, being the only recorded
example - it is not present in the State Library of Victoria and is
the only example known in this dual sheet format
