    Austrian Levant - Ingoing to the Ionian Islands 1835 (Jan 22): Entire letter from Solothurn to Argostoli on Cephalonia struck with ornamental "SOLEURE 22 JANV. 1835" French-type cds in red, very rare in this colour, oval LT postal treaty handstamp in red as well as CORFU (Feb 22) transit and CEPHALONIA (March 2) ribbon oval datestamps, both in bluish black alongside. Reverse shows part strike of Trieste. The entire was first intended to be sent by registered mail, finally it was not. On front '14' (kr.) were noted for the Austrian transit, the total due was noted on front and reverse with 5¾ (d.) up to Trieste, additional 9 (d.) to Corfu and finally 6 (d.) to Cephalonia. Entire shows strong toning and some splitting along the folds, nevertheless an early usage from a Swiss lawyer to a rather exotic destination at that time.rnNote: Corfu and the Ionian Islands constituted the 'United States of the Ionian Islands' under British protection after the Napoleonic Wars. In June 1819 the Austrian government established a regular shipmail service, first between Trieste and Corfu, in 1833 extended to Patras and from 1834 up to Alexandria. Prior to the foundation of the DDSG in 1829 the service was performed using private ships.
