Postal History
1849 (29 Oct.) entire letter from Huth & Co in Canton to London "via Marseilles", rated "2/7" and bearing a faint strike of "ship letter/victoria-hongkong", the flap bearing a light strike of the type 9 Hong Kong c.d.s.; vertical folding creases, good appearance. The anticipated packet ship being obliterated as this was initially carried on the P&O 'Pekin'. An unusual route and rate. Photo
