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.

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.

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?
