Overland via Marseilles 1858 (July 16): Entire from Melbourne,
Victoria to Gotheborg, Sweden bearing 1854 Victoria Woodblock 6 d.
dull orange with four margins, cancelled by barred numeral “1” of
Melbourne and prepaying 6 d. and underpaid 1 s. 2 d. for a ½ ounce
ship letter of 1 s. 8 d. to Sweden. Struck with “DETAINED FOR “1/2”
POSTAGE” handstamp in black representing the underpayment and
“1Rdr.24sBCO” in black for the postage to be paid by the recipient.
The part pre-payment of 6 d. was not accepted by the Swedish postal
authorities and the entire was taxed as completely unpaid. Transit
datestamps of Melbourne, 'Australie V. Suez', Paris, Hamburg and
Gothenburg. A remarkable taxed cover from the Australian Colonies,
unrecorded by Ben Palmer, being the fourth earliest cover from
Victoria to Sweden. It is believed that there are just three
examples recorded of this Swedish tax handstamp. Fine and very
rare. Route - European and Australian Royal Mail Co: Departed
Melbourne per “Emeu” 16 July 1858 via Galle (7 Aug) to Suez;
overland to Alexandria. P&O Line: “Teviot” (26 Aug) to Malta

Sept); by rail via Paris to Hamburg (5 Sept); by steamer to
Gothenburg (9 Sept); overland to Stahla, arriving 11 Sept 1858 (160
days). Note: This cover was detained at the Melbourne G.P.O. from
the 4 April until the addressee had prepaid the additional 1 s. 2
d. (in manuscript within the 'Detained' handstamp). However, the
additional amount should have been 1 s. 8 d. for a total of 2 s. 2
d. via Marseilles. The additional 1 s. 2 d. only prepaid the letter
via Southampton
