This is possibly the earliest French missionary letter directly
from ...di più This is possibly the earliest French missionary letter directly from Pekin to overseas via French international postal system. 1853 (14 June) a French missionary letter dated June 14, 1853, originating from the village of Ngan Kia Tchouang 安家庄 ( Anjiazhuang ) in the Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Zhili (modern-day Hebei). The letter is written to Institut d’Afrique in Peking by Father Joseph Martial Mouly 孟振生,當時任北京教區代理主教 . The text identifies the ecclesiastical jurisdiction then managed by the Lazarist (Vincentian) order and begins with the traditional pious invocation “+ J.M.J.” (Jesus, Mary, Joseph). Ngan Kia Tchouang 安家庄 (Anjiazhuang) is a famous Catholic “Christian village” in Hebei province. During the mid-1800s, it served as an important missionary station and refuge for foreign priests and local converts. It was often used as a base for the Bishop or senior missionaries when they were not in Beijing itself. On the reverse side, there is a large official episcopal seal (Bishop’s seal) of Joseph Martial Mouly. The transcription of the Seal reads: “JOS. MART. MOULY EPIS. FESSUL. VIC. AP. TCHELY-SEPT. PEKIN.”, i.e., Joseph Martial Mouly, Bishop of Fussula (His titular see), Vicar Apostolic, North Zhili (Northern Hebei) of Beijing.

"3 JUIL 55". On the back side, cancelled by double arc 'CANTON 27 AU 1855", and also double arc "HONG KONG 26 AG 1855". It is rare to have a stripe of 4 imperforate 40c Napoleon III stamps on cover sent to China. Secondly, most of covers sent to Canton will not carry any arrival c.d.s. but this one has a fine use of CANTON double arc c.d.s., and hence, very rare in nature.
法國寄往中國廣州 1855年7月3日,自法國寄往中國廣州之信函,貼附罕見的拿破崙三世肖像《帝國法蘭西》橙色40生丁無齒郵票一條四連張,全以方格型點線格“菱形”戰銷。信封正面附有清晰的發信日戳 “3 JUIL 55"。信封背面蓋有「HONG KONG 26 AG 1855」雙圈日戳以及極為罕見之「CANTON 27 AU 1855」雙圈到達日戳。此封信最為珍罕之處,在於兩點:其一,貼用四枚連張無齒40生丁拿破崙三世郵票實寄至中國;其二,多數寄往廣州之信件並無當地到達戳,而本件則保留清晰完整之 「CANTON」雙圈到達日戳,尤為難得。

On the reverse, cancelled with Hong-Kong double arc c.d.s (2 Nov 1856). Seldom to see direct mail to Canton in use of French Ceres adhesive. The Arrow Incident broke out in October 1856 opening up the Second Opium War. In Nov 1856, the mail delivery from Hong Kong to Canton was seriously disturbed and often be suspended. Not entirely sure whether this mail could eventually be delivered to Canton at the time.

On the obverse side, endorsed by “Par Paquetor Francais”, franked with two pairs of 40c French adhesive tied by “2145” diamond lozenges, a red boxed “PD” and a black boxed “PD”. According to Lee Scamp Far East Mail Ship Itineraries, this mail should be carried by French Ligne Ship “PELUSE”, “ALPHEE”, “HYDASPE” to Shanghai. Lee Scamp mentioned on its note 18 (page 4) that MI “HYDASPE” had gone to Whampoa for repairs when arrived in China. The mail might be carried by another substitute French mail service to Shanghai or other British service as an outside mail. That explained why there is no arrival c.d.s. at Shanghai. A first year French ligne packet mail to Shanghai. Very interesting in use of substitute mail service in China.

from ...di più This is possibly the earliest French missionary letter directly from Pekin to overseas via French international postal system. 1853 (14 June) a French missionary letter dated June 14, 1853, originating from the village of Ngan Kia Tchouang 安家庄 ( Anjiazhuang ) in the Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Zhili (modern-day Hebei). The letter is written to Institut d’Afrique in Peking by Father Joseph Martial Mouly 孟振生,當時任北京教區代理主教 . The text identifies the ecclesiastical jurisdiction then managed by the Lazarist (Vincentian) order and begins with the traditional pious invocation “+ J.M.J.” (Jesus, Mary, Joseph). Ngan Kia Tchouang 安家庄 (Anjiazhuang) is a famous Catholic “Christian village” in Hebei province. During the mid-1800s, it served as an important missionary station and refuge for foreign priests and local converts. It was often used as a base for the Bishop or senior missionaries when they were not in Beijing itself. On the reverse side, there is a large official episcopal seal (Bishop’s seal) of Joseph Martial Mouly. The transcription of the Seal reads: “JOS. MART. MOULY EPIS. FESSUL. VIC. AP. TCHELY-SEPT. PEKIN.”, i.e., Joseph Martial Mouly, Bishop of Fussula (His titular see), Vicar Apostolic, North Zhili (Northern Hebei) of Beijing.
1853.6.14 寄北京教區代理主教孟振生,由直隸安家莊寄出。可能為自北京經法國郵政系統寄海外之最早教會信件。

4 ...di più 3 July 1855, France sent to Canton, China affixed with a stripe of 4 imperforate 40 centimes orange "Empire Franc" stamp (Napoleon III), cancelled by box type Lozenges, with desptach c.d.s. "3 JUIL 55". On the back side, cancelled by double arc 'CANTON 27 AU 1855", and also double arc "HONG KONG 26 AG 1855". It is rare to have a stripe of 4 imperforate 40c Napoleon III stamps on cover sent to China. Secondly, most of covers sent to Canton will not carry any arrival c.d.s. but this one has a fine use of CANTON double arc c.d.s., and hence, very rare in nature.
法國寄往中國廣州 1855年7月3日,自法國寄往中國廣州之信函,貼附罕見的拿破崙三世肖像《帝國法蘭西》橙色40生丁無齒郵票一條四連張,全以方格型點線格“菱形”戰銷。信封正面附有清晰的發信日戳 “3 JUIL 55"。信封背面蓋有「HONG KONG 26 AG 1855」雙圈日戳以及極為罕見之「CANTON 27 AU 1855」雙圈到達日戳。此封信最為珍罕之處,在於兩點:其一,貼用四枚連張無齒40生丁拿破崙三世郵票實寄至中國;其二,多數寄往廣州之信件並無當地到達戳,而本件則保留清晰完整之 「CANTON」雙圈到達日戳,尤為難得。

On the obverse side, cancelled with a blue oval forwarder cachet “B.G. WAINWRIGHT & Co. / 13. R. DU FAUBC MONTMARTRE. / PARIS”, framed “P.P.” in red, rate mark handstamp “1/-”, Paris transit c.d.s. On the reverse, cancelled with Hong-Kong double arc c.d.s (2 Nov 1856). Seldom to see direct mail to Canton in use of French Ceres adhesive. The Arrow Incident broke out in October 1856 opening up the Second Opium War. In Nov 1856, the mail delivery from Hong Kong to Canton was seriously disturbed and often be suspended. Not entirely sure whether this mail could eventually be delivered to Canton at the time.

Chine. ...di più 1863 (18 July) a neat outer cover sent from France to Shanghai Chine. On the obverse side, endorsed by “Par Paquetor Francais”, franked with two pairs of 40c French adhesive tied by “2145” diamond lozenges, a red boxed “PD” and a black boxed “PD”. According to Lee Scamp Far East Mail Ship Itineraries, this mail should be carried by French Ligne Ship “PELUSE”, “ALPHEE”, “HYDASPE” to Shanghai. Lee Scamp mentioned on its note 18 (page 4) that MI “HYDASPE” had gone to Whampoa for repairs when arrived in China. The mail might be carried by another substitute French mail service to Shanghai or other British service as an outside mail. That explained why there is no arrival c.d.s. at Shanghai. A first year French ligne packet mail to Shanghai. Very interesting in use of substitute mail service in China.
1863.7.18 法國寄上海,正面批注經法國郵船,貼40生丁雙連,銷2145殺手戳。按Scamp記錄,此信由Peluse, Alphee, Hydaspe號寄上海。而Hydaspe號於抵達黃埔後進行維修,由於另一艘英國或法國船送至上海。為法國郵船寄上海之首年例子。
