    1864: Cover from Massawah to London franked by India 1856/64 1 a. brown, four examples, 2 a. yellow and cut round 8 p. purple, all tied in transit by Aden "124" numeral obliterators in black with framed "INDIA PAID" in red at left. The adhesives with small imperfections and the 8 p. removed from original position (over 'No. 33') and replaced. The cover with manuscript at lower left from "H. Rassam, Massawah, 4/10/64", and reverse with manuscript of Forwarding Agent "Received on the 9 Nov / 64 at 7 am per 'Dalhousie'  Eduguee Manachi" with "ADEN" cds in black (Nov 10) and London arrival (Nov 26) in red. Further docketing "Answered by F.O. (Foreign Office), Febry 16th, 1865". Only two 'Layard' correspondence covers have been recorded (the other ex Reverend Payne collection). An extremely rare and important cover. Cert. RPSL (2016).rnrnNote: The writer, Hormuzd Rassam (1826-1910) at the age of 20 in 1846, Rassam was hired by the British archaeologist Austen Henry Layard (the above letter is addressed to Mrs Henry Layard) as a pay master at Nimrud, an Assyrian excavation site. Layard, who was in Mosul on his first expedition (1845–47), was impressed by the hard-working Rassam and took him under his wing; they would remain friends for life. Layard provided an opportunity for Rassam to travel to England and study at Magdalen College, Oxford. Layard left archeology to begin a political career. Rassam continued field work (1852–54) at Nimrud and Nineveh, where he made a number of important discoveries. These included the clay tablets that would later be deciphered by George Smith as the Epic of Gilgamesh, the world's oldest written narrative poem. With the help of Layard, he began a new career in government with a posting to the British Consulate in Aden, quickly rising to the post of First Political Resident and facilitating a number of agreements between the British and formerly hostile local community leaders. In 1866, an international crisis arose in Ethiopia when British missionaries were taken hostage by Emperor Tewodros II, Rassam would probably have prevented the entire Abyssinian campaign if not hindered in negotations with the Emperor Tewodoros by Charles Tilstone Beke.rnrnProvenance: Collection 'Menelik', Harmers, Lugano, 8 Dec 1989, lot 601; Collection Roberto Sciaky, Harmers, London, 25 July 2006, lot 3.

    1847 (Dec 1): Entire letter in English from Dabaraq (Dabarag) to Paris, France carried by merchant caravan via Kassala and thence via the Nile to Alexandria where put into the French Post Office with "Alexandrie / Egypte" cds (May 20) in black and Paris arrival cds (May 31) where charged '20' décimes due in manuscript. An astonishingly early entire, one of the earliest we have recorded, the letter being written by the Irish born explorer and geologist (among other things - see content) Anthony (Antoine) Thomson d'Abbadie (1810-1897), who had arrived with his brother in Ethiopia in 1837, leaving in 1848, having travelled all over Abyssinia as far South as the Kingdom of Kaffa. Extremely rare and fine. Cert. J-F. Brun (2016).rnrnNote: The readable letter begins "Your letter dated February 18, 1845 is the latest which I have received from you. The French Agent at Massawa named Degoutin took both letters and money and took very good care not to inform me of their arrival...". The letter goes on to mention 'Briggs & Co.' (Forwarding Agents in Cairo) and "this distracted country is so full of thieves, rebels, robbers and petty armies... getting on the road is very dangerous" and mentions his two slaves in attendance. The letter is extraordinary and amazingly revealing about the customs of the local people concerning marriage (including to their own daughters).rnrnProvenance: Collection Roberto Sciaky, Harmers, London, 25 July 2006, lot 2.

Reverse with London transit cds (Dec 20) in blue and very fine strike of circular "FIELD FORCE POST OFFICE / ABYSSINIA" datestamp in red (Jan 17, 1868) with over-inked "F.F." obliterator adjacent. Some minor soiling but very rare.rnrnNote: The letter is addressed to 'Bobs', Field Marshal Frederick Sleigh Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts, VC, (1832 – 1910), a British General who became one of the most successful British military commanders of his time. Born in India to an Anglo-Irish family, Roberts joined the East India Company Army and served as a young officer in the Indian Rebellion during which he won a Victoria Cross for gallantry. He was then transferred to the British Army and fought in the Expedition to Abyssinia and the Second Anglo-Afghan War, in which his exploits earned him widespread fame. Roberts would go on to serve as the Commander-in-Chief, India before leading British Forces to success in the Second Boer War.

In 1899 he accompanied Baron Carlo von Erlanger through and southern Ethiopia, collecting birds that went to Lord Walter Rothschild's bird collection in Tring. In 1941, with the help of his friend Julius Riemer he fled Germany, travelling from Berlin via Cuba to Chicago, where he worked the final years of his life as a curator in the Field Museum of Natural History.

    Abyssinian Field Force 1868: Cover from Napier's Force near Senafe to Cardiff franked by India 1865 8 p. purple, 2 a.orange and 1866/67 6 a. 8 p. slate, faults, each cancelled by "F.F." obliterators (Field Force) endorsed 'via Marseilles' with unframed "INDIA PAID" in red at left. Reverse with overinked oily strike of circular "FIELD FORCE POST OFFICE / ABYSSINIA" datestamp in red and Cardiff arrival cds (April 20) in black. Manuscript notation at left "Abyssinia 1868, Camp Sooroo 25 March". Small part of envelope missing at top and sensibly filled, a magnificent and wonderful franking in the foremost quality for mail from this Campaign. Cert. RPSL (2016).rnrnNote: The certificate states that a stamp has been removed - however this is most unlikely as the franking of 6 annas 8 pies pays the full Officer's rate via Marseille. Also, if there was a 'missing' stamp, then why is there no trace of manuscript 'Stamped' always found on Lady Tyler covers? For further examples of Lady Tyler covers prepaid at 6 a. 8 p. from this Campaign, see the 'Pedrazzo' collection, Corinphila sale 145, April 2006, lots 1855 and 1857 and Sciaky collection, July 2006, lot 8.

    1868/1982: Persia/Iran collection in four albums, beginning with a range of "Lion" issues, those in the main believed to be forgeries, later issues also requiring very careful study. The covers yield some interest with among others a great WWI cover to Switzerland with French censor strips and an incoming letter from "HARBIN"/Manchuria to Teheran. Furthermore airmails and censors of other areas as well as some Irak issues make for a varied lot. Finally there is a beautiful handpainted Persian miniature believed to be over two hundred years old.
