There it received a superb strike of the most uncommon framed "MISSENT TO BANGKOK" handstamp in black, with Bangkok cds (Feb 12) on reverse. The cover was then forwarded through and backstamped at Singapore (Feb 18), Calcutta (March 20), Tista Bridge (border between Darjeeling and Sikkim, March 22), to Gangtok where it was neatly re-adressed to Yatung, Tibet, where it received an arrival cds of March 23. At some time, presumably in Singapore the address was erroneously embellished "Philippine Is" in blue crayon which resulted in another detour and collecting another uncommon instructional mark, a framed "NOT FOR PHILIPPINES" in carmine-red. A fascinating doubly misrouted cover with most uncommon markings and of striking appearance.

A wonderful cover and surely one of the finest and most significant of all Sarawak classic period covers.rnrnNote: The Rajah of Sarawak, James Brooke needed money to 'create' the country of Sarawak and he struck up a relationship with Miss Angela, later Baroness Burdett Coutts, at the time the richest heiress in England; a relationship detailed in the letters of Brooke and Miss Coutts from 1859 onwards available in book form published in 1935. Their correspondence continued unabated until his death in 1868. To quote Robert Payne from "The White Rajah of Sarawak", Brooke met Miss Coutts at a party hosted by Queen Victoria "Born to great wealth, she was determined to use her money as a weapon to advance her humanitarian ideas, and when the Rajah spoke to her about the Dyaks and Malays plagued by their feudal Sultans and by Ilanun pirates, still living in the Middle Ages, her heart went out to them" (and, allegedly, to Brooke himself, although rumours also abounded on Brooke's homosexuality). rnrnProvenance: Christie's, Singapore, 26 March 1994, lot 1242.
