    1902: Barnum & Bailey, 'The Greatest Show on Earth', the most famous Circus company of the time, two pre-printed envelopes in different designs, probably from a European tour in 1902 from NEUILLY (SEINE) to ZURICH, addressed to the Operationsmanager of the Swiss Railways. The Circus was famous for travelling in its own train, which was also the home to its Artists. In this context a correspondence with railway ops is very plausible and shines a light on the Circus' history.  The heavy contents have left minor traces of wear on one envelope, which nonetheless is a great asset to any thematic collection 'Circus'.

Bonaparte' despatch cds and boxed PD in red alongside. Reverse with "ALCALA DE HENs / MADRID 28 OCT 70" arrival cds. An amazing item, covers from the 'Neptune' are missing from the most advanced collections of Ballons montés. Maury = € 15'000 for the Neptune + € 5'000 for the destination Spain / Lhéritier = € 18'300 + 4'600. Note: This is the first entire from a most interesting correspondence of six entire letters, written by a wife to her husband and children in Spain, a new find. This item was despatched on September 19, the day the Prussian troups have closed the siège, the letter deals with the mail from Spain which arrived in Paris the day before. It does not show an endorsement 'Ballon Monté' just 'Espagne par Bayonne', because this service and terminology has not been established as the first balloon, the 'Neptune' did not depart earlier than September 23rd. This lack of endorsement is typical for the first balloons.

    INFO: Ce pli n'a pas été transporté par le Neptune car la date d'arrivée à Madrid du 28 octobre 1870 est beaucoup trop tardive. Nouveau prix de départ: CHF 1'200.- Vendu Tel Quel. (not carried by the Neptune because the arrival date is too late). Offered as is.

    Greek Naval Occupation of Dedeagatch 1913 (Sept. 15/Sept. 28g): The third provisional issue: 50 l. blue (two examples), perf. 11½, used on reverse of 1913 cover to Pera, Constantinople and cancelled by straight line "Dedeagatch" in Greek in red (repeated strike on obverse); one stamp showing the blue anchor Control handstamp. The 1 drachma franking is overpaid but the Postmaster in Athens (Sept. 24) applied four litho 25 l. ultramarine over the original franking as, whilst the Dedeagatch franking was legitimate it would not be recognised upon arrival in Pera. "British Post Office / Constantinople" cds also at right (Nov. 10) in black. Imperfections but a most unusual cover.
