    1812 (Feb): Cover from Kachorwa, near Bettiah (Bihar) just south of the border with Nepal, addressed to the Prime Minister (Mukhtiyar) Bhimsen Thapa at Nuwakot (the old capital of Nepal, centrally placed in the valley area). Superb impression of oval negative seal handstamp in black on reverse. A rare cover.

    Note: Bhimsen Thapa (1775-1839), was Prime Minister of Nepal when the British East India Company invaded Nepal in 1814. Eventually subdued with heavy losses by the British, the Gorkha forces have fought alongside the British Army ever since. Bhimsen Thapa committed suicide whilst under arrest in British custody in 1839.
