1842 Texas Republic to Dr. Ashbel Smith in France. Folded もっと見る
1842 Texas Republic to Dr. Ashbel Smith in France. Folded cover
addressed to "Hon . Ashbel Smith, Minister du Texas" in care of
"Consul du Texas" via Le Havre, France, sender's notation "Texian
Consulate, Newyork" at upper right and directive "pr. British
Queen" at upper left, red "Anvers 4 Nov. 1842" (Antwerp, Belgium)
double-circle entry datestamp and matching "NAVIGATION
TRANSATLANTIQUE/PAR BATEAUX A VAPEUR" two-line framed handstamp
(Transatlantic Navigation by Steamship), part of address crossed
out and redirected to Paris ("hotel Meurice" on address panel and
"8 Place Vendome No. 1" on back), black "Anvers 7 Nov. 1842"
double-circle datestamp at upper right, backstamped Le Havre (Nov.
7 and 8) and Paris (Nov. 12), manuscript "10" decimes due crossed
out and re-rated "16" decimes due, some ink erosionVERY FINE. A
SIGNIFICANT COVER ADDRESSED TO DR. ASHBEL SMITH DURING HIS 1842
DIPLOMATIC MISSION TO EUROPE ON BEHALF OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS,
AND AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE BELGIAN "NAVIGATION
TRANSATLANTIQUE/PAR BATEAUX A VAPEUR" HANDSTAMP.In 1842 Dr. Ashbel
Smith traveled to Europe as the Republic of Texas charge d'affaires
(and plenipotentiary) to Great Britain and France. During this
trip, Dr. Smith secured ratification of treaties between Great
Britain and Texas. In France he worked to improve diplomatic
relations following the 1841 "Pig War," a dispute between
governments that erupted after a French diplomat ordered the
slaughter of a local settler's pigs, which the Frenchman claimed
had invaded his stable and home. Dr. Smith also encouraged the
Europeans to impede Mexican threats to invade Texas, and he
investigated the antislavery advocates' position toward the
republic. While in Europe, Dr. Smith received correspondence from
Texas. Although this cover has no contents, the write-up by a
previous owner states that it originated in Austin, Texas, and
carried news of the capture of San Antonio in September 1842 by
Mexican forces under General Adrian Woll.Per the sender's
directive, this letter was carried from New York to Europe on the
British Queen, a former British steamship that was sold to the
Belgian government in August 1841 for service on the
Antwerp-Cowes-New York route that started in May 1842. The service
was unsuccessful and only a few round trips were made before it was
terminated. An article in the Transatlantic Study Group newsletter
(No. 59, Oct. 1997, PDF provided online) provides sailing data that
lists the British Queen departing New York on October 7, 1842, and
arriving in Southampton on November 3 and Antwerp on November 4.
The red "Anvers" datestamp corresponds with the sailing data. We
have been unable to verify a statement from a previous owner that
only two examples of the "NAVIGATION TRANSATLANTIQUE/PAR BATEAUX A
VAPEUR" handstamp are known. James van der Linden states that there
are six recorded British Queen covers carried on the sailings to
and from Belgium, and only one with the red framed
handstamp.Illustrated in Ter Braake, Texas: The Drama of its Postal
Past (p. 247). We are grateful to James van der Linden for his
assistance with this description
