1. Our previous auction, on 1 st September, was one of our strongest<br />
general sales yet. 85% of all lots were sold, there was intense bidding<br />
in many areas, and the total hammer prices (excluding commissions)<br />
exceeded the total pre-sale estimates for the entire auction! It was<br />
especially pleasing to see the bidder response to our “gallery” sections that<br />
feature the illustrations - many of them significantly enlarged -<br />
incorporated within the text. We received many effusive comments from our<br />
vendors both before and especially after the sale. On this occasion we are<br />
going further, and experimenting with a number of superb stamps being<br />
shown enlarged at up to 400% of their actual size. We think they look<br />
fabulous, but we are interested in hearing what you think.<br />
2. Victor Bullock’s South Australian Departmentals and Tasmanian<br />
postmarks were highlights of the September sale. On this occasion we are<br />
pleased to present the balance of Vic’s South Australian studies and his<br />
Northern Territory postmarks, a field that is generally under-appreciated<br />
and consequently grossly undervalued.<br />
This sale also features a strong section of Kangaroos and KGV Heads,<br />
one of the most spectacular of all our Decimal errors, and a newly<br />
discovered mint example of the unlisted 1902 3d Postage Due Perf 11¾.<br />
The last section of Trevor Davis’ Destination Mails from the Australian<br />
Colonies is offered here. We also bring you a lovely selection of Bermuda<br />
Keyplates, another fascinating array of India and the Feudatory States, and<br />
an extensive array of British Empire registered covers.<br />
Perhaps the most absorbing section of the auction is the New Guinea<br />
which includes many items that have not been on the market for decades.<br />
An educational feature is the array of GRI forgeries (don’t miss the<br />
similar group from Samoa) all of which are illustrated.<br />
If you are considering, whether in the short-term or well into the future, the<br />
sale of a collection that you believe would justify our gallery treatment<br />
please contact me to discuss how you too can experience “The <strong>Prestige</strong><br />
Difference” as a vendor.<br />
3. Please note that this auction will, unusually for us, be held on a<br />
Friday evening, 19 th October, commencing at 5pm. A light meal and<br />
refreshments will be served to all clients who attend. While we intend to<br />
continue holding our auctions on Saturday afternoon, we welcome your<br />
feedback about the times and days you would prefer.<br />
4. Having the auction in the evening means that the viewing times are<br />
somewhat different from normal. Please consult the inside front cover of this<br />
catalogue. On sale day, you will be able to examine the material from<br />
9am until 4pm. However, we would ask that local clients view earlier<br />
because on auction day we give priority to those visiting from the country,<br />
interstate and overseas.<br />
Please note that lots for our sales are usually available for inspection at<br />
our office in Belgrave as soon as the catalogue goes on-line, which is<br />
usually a month before the sale. If you are unable to view during the<br />
nominated hours, feel free to request viewing at another time. A client told<br />
me recently that he was in Melbourne the week before our formal viewing<br />
period and would have loved the opportunity to see the lots first-hand. He<br />
could have, by simply by phoning our office and making an appointment.<br />
5. It has been quite a revelation to learn how many of our clients listen in<br />
to the live audio feeds from our auctions. This facility has now been<br />
enhanced by making scans of the lots available. As we advance to the next<br />
lot, the screen image changes. You also have before you the results for the<br />
previous five lots. Naturally, we get asked all the time when we will have live<br />
bidding over the Internet. I would love to tell you that it’s being introduced<br />
for this auction. However, it remains a priority “work in progress”. We don’t<br />
want to offer the live bidding facility until it has been rigorously tested and<br />
we are confident that it is all that it needs to be. Watch this space!
6. I am often asked how we arrive at the estimates on collections and other mixed lots. My approach<br />
is to publish a figure at or about the price I would be happy to pay for the lot if I wanted to buy it. On<br />
that basis, all our collection lots should represent good value at the estimate. (There are<br />
exceptions to this, of course, notably where a vendor insists on a higher estimate. Thankfully, such<br />
instructions are rarely given.)<br />
You need to be aware we cannot guarantee that every lot you buy will represent good value. On<br />
occasion clients engage in a “bidding war”, with the victor sometimes ruing the fact that he has won<br />
the battle. For the auctioneer and the vendor, that’s one of the joys of public auction. For the buyer,<br />
the joy is in buying a collection for less than he would have been prepared to pay, or finding a hidden<br />
gem or two that nobody had noticed in the lotting or viewing stages.<br />
While we cannot guarantee the contents or the value of any collection lot, we can assure you that<br />
we endeavour not to mislead our clients. We routinely use terms such as “mixed condition” or<br />
“condition problems here” etc. This should be an amber flag warning you not to expect every item in<br />
the lot to be pristine. Sometimes, in spite of our cautions, people get carried away and pay too much<br />
for a mixed lot. Most take it in their stride, reasoning that “you win some, you lose some”.<br />
Very occasionally, however, someone will seek to return a mixed lot that falls short of his<br />
expectations. This is simply not acceptable, to us, or to the vendor. It is the buyer who has<br />
volunteered to pay too much, not the auctioneer who has charged too much. If there is one sure way<br />
to get an auctioneer off-side, it is to ignore the Terms of Sale. Ours are published at page 6 of every<br />
catalogue. If you have never read them, could I encourage you to do so now.<br />
7. All of us at <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> were delighted to learn that<br />
our United States agent, Steve Schumann, was<br />
recently presented with America’s highest philatelic<br />
honour, the John N Luff Award for Exceptional<br />
Contributions to <strong>Philately</strong>. Steve’s middle name is<br />
“Volunteer”, and he has served in a variety of capacities to<br />
assist and lead many US stamp organisations. His<br />
philatelic CV is quite extraordinary and I’m sure everyone<br />
will join us in applauding Steve for this well-deserved<br />
recognition for his contributions to philately over a very<br />
long period. Our photo shows Steve signing The Luff Roll,<br />
in the presence of that other distinguished collector,<br />
Robert (Bob) Odenweller.<br />
8. Finally, I hope you will find something in this catalogue for which to bid boldly. But, if not, we would<br />
be grateful if you let somebody else know about material in which you believe he or she might be<br />
interested. That’s a sure way to earn some brownie points, with both your friend and us.<br />
OFFICIAL PERFINS OFFERED “AS IS”<br />
Buyers of Australian stamps need to be aware of an unfortunate situation that has arisen in the<br />
local market whereby no recognised philatelic expert or expert committee will provide certificates of<br />
genuineness in respect of official perfins, unless the provenance of the particular stamp(s) is<br />
unquestioned. Consequently, unless approved prior to an auction, we can no longer permit<br />
extensions in respect of perfins and all such items are, of necessity, now offered “as is”.<br />
Prospective purchasers need to satisfy themselves that such items are genuine. For our part, we<br />
will not knowingly offer material from dubious vendors or that we otherwise have reason to suspect<br />
is not genuine.<br />
This regrettable situation has required an amendment to paragraph 10 of our Terms of Sale:<br />
see page 6 of this catalogue.

<strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> - Auction No 131 Page: 5<br />
Understandin our Symbols & Unique Gradin System<br />
At Prestie <strong>Philately</strong> we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be aware of. We are the only<br />
major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients have struggled with the whole concept of grading, most<br />
have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment about the system. It is important that you understand our Grading System because<br />
the symbols used form part of the lot description. We are confident that once you are comfortable with our gradings, you will always be satisfied with the<br />
quality of the material you purchase from us. And, in the event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently overgraded an item, we WANT you to<br />
return it. We stand behind the Prestie Grading System.<br />
1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and printed in bright red, the item is illustrated: e.g. 1234. (The actual location of the illustration is<br />
given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.8} is position 8 on page 41.)<br />
2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot:<br />
** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g.<br />
Ω Unused, no gum Δ Piece<br />
C Cover or card PS Postal Stationery<br />
CL Cover, long CX Cover, oversize<br />
A Albums and accessories B Booklet<br />
E Essay L Literature<br />
P Proof R Reprint<br />
S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots)<br />
or, in the case of used stamps, a grading of the cancellation:<br />
V Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear O Used, quality unspecified<br />
F Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design G Untidy or indistinct postmark<br />
H Heavy or poorly struck postmark<br />
3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from ‘A’ to ‘D’. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers,<br />
postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded ‘A’ is very fine; it has no faults. ‘B’ items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A ‘C’ item will exhibit<br />
obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated ‘D’.<br />
Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated ‘A+’. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would<br />
normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition.<br />
An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an ‘A-’. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A<br />
cover may have a receiver’s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner’s notations.<br />
Whether this factor makes the item an ‘A-’ or ‘B’ is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser’s signature or handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not<br />
normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item<br />
is of the standard that you personally require.<br />
Occasionally, the symbol ‘A’ to ‘C’ will appear in brackets: eg (B). This signifies that the item has been renovated or repaired and improved to the grade<br />
indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description of the lot.<br />
4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading ‘Postmarks’.<br />
For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ relates to centring. ‘A’ stamps are very well centred;<br />
‘B’ stamps are slightly off-centre; ‘C’ stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; ‘D’ stamps are badly off-centre,<br />
with the perforations well into the design.<br />
[NB: These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19 th Century American issues.<br />
However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus ‘C’, and even ‘D’, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such<br />
issues a ‘B’ stamp will be above-average and an ‘A’ stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.]<br />
Following the letter ‘A’ to ‘D’ is a number ‘1’ to ‘4’. A stamp with all perforations intact is ‘1’. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the<br />
grading to ‘2’. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a ‘3’ grading. A stamp with major perforation<br />
faults will be a ‘4’.<br />
[NB: A stamp graded ‘A1’ is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many<br />
issues, ‘B2’ or even ‘C3’ may be normal and quite acceptable.]<br />
For lots listed under the sub-headings “Postmarks” and “Ship/Paquebot Markings”, or similar, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike of the<br />
marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from ‘A’ (very fine) to ‘D’ (poor). Completeness is graded from ‘1’ (complete) to ‘5’ (identifiable only). ‘+’ is<br />
used for superb strikes; ‘-’ is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark.<br />
5. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.<br />
6. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. (If a lot attracts tax for Australian buyers, the estimate is in green, follwed by a small<br />
"T".) You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step). Bids below this<br />
level will not be considered.<br />

<strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> - Auction No 131 Oct 19, 2007<br />
Prestie <strong>Philately</strong> - Public Auction Terms of Sale<br />
(amended as at 1 st July 2007: see in particular Paragraph 10 as to the unavailability of extensions to have perfins expertised)<br />
1. AUCTIONEER: <strong>Prestige</strong> <strong>Philately</strong> (Prestie), a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the auctioneer, and adheres to the<br />
standard terms of sale of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association.<br />
2. DESCRIPTIONS: We endeavour to describe lots fully and accurately. The description of a lot comprises 1) the codes to the left of the<br />
description (for details of our symbols and grading codes, see the previous page of this catalogue); 2) the description; and 3) any<br />
illustration of the lot or part of the lot. (The various codes and symbols are explained on the previous page.<br />
3. ESTIMATES: The figure in the right-hand column following each lot description is the starting price of the lot in Australian dollars. A<br />
bidder - may bid at, above or below the estimate. Bids below the reserve price (usually 75% of the estimate) will not be accepted. There is<br />
no reserve on lots listed at $20 or less.<br />
4. BIDDING: Bids may be made to Prestie by mail, by fax, by e-mail or by phone. Bids received by phone must be confirmed in writing.<br />
At public auctions, bids may also be made in person, by phone (by prior arrangement) or through an agent attending an auction. An agent<br />
must advise Prestie of the person(s) for whom bids are being submitted or else the agent will be personally liable for payment and<br />
delivery of any lots purchased. Prestie reserves the right to refuse any bid, or to refuse bids from any person, for any reason.<br />
In most cases, Prestie's bidding steps are as follows:<br />
$150 - 300 $10 rises $3000 - 5000 $200 rises<br />
$300 - 500 $20 rises $5000 - 10000 $250 rises<br />
Under $30 $1 rises $500 - 750 $25 rises $10000 - 15000 $500 rises<br />
$30 - 50 $2 rises $750 - 1500 $50 rises $15000 - 30000 $1000 rises<br />
$50 - 150 $5 rises $1500 - 3000 $100 rises over $30000 average of 5% rises<br />
Prestie reserves the right to raise or lower postal bids (depending on the bidder's apparent intention) to conform to these bidding steps.<br />
5. TELEPHONE BIDDING: Bidding by telephone during the course of a public auction is permitted. However, clients wishing to use this<br />
service must contact Prestie at least 24 hours before the auction regarding the special conditions that apply. [To see these special<br />
conditions, go to www.prestigephilately.com from where the Telephone Bidding Terms can be read and downloaded.]<br />
6. GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST): Australian law requires that GST equal to 10% of the knock-down or sale price of a taxed lot shall be<br />
payable by the buyer, unless the taxed lot is exported to another country. Taxed lots are indicated in the catalogue by the estimate figure:<br />
being printed in bright green, followed by a small "T". GST equal to 10% of the amount of any fees or charges added by Prestie is<br />
also payable by Australian buyers.<br />
7. BUYER: The buyer of a lot shall be the person to whom the lot is sold ("knocked-down") by Prestie. In the event of equal bids being<br />
received, the earliest such bid shall be successful. In the event of a dispute, Prestie shall have absolute discretion in the settling of the<br />
dispute.<br />
A lot is at the buyer's risk once it has been sold ("knocked-down") but ownership (legal title) will not pass to the buyer until Prestie has<br />
received payment in full for the lot.<br />
8. PAYMENT: Payment is due immediately a lot is sold, or immediately upon receipt of an invoice. For public auctions only, in addition to<br />
the price for which a lot is sold, the buyer shall pay a premium of 15% of that price, plus any fees for postage packing and insurance or<br />
credit card use that are charged by <strong>Prestige</strong>, plus GST as appropriate. No buyer's premium is charged or payable in respect of postal<br />
auctions. (Payment should always be made in Australian dollars. If payment is made in another currency the buyer shall add the<br />
equivalent of $A50 towards bank fees, any resulting credit being placed to the buyer's account.)<br />
In the event that the buyer does not make payment in full for the lot(s) within 30 days from the date of the invoice, Prestie shall have<br />
the right to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:<br />
1) To impose an accounting fee of $10 per month (or part thereof) plus compound interest at the rate of 2.5% per<br />
month (or part thereof) of the total amount outstanding;<br />
2) To terminate the contract with the buyer, in which case any monies received from the buyer shall be forfeited to<br />
Prestie;<br />
3) To terminate the contract and resell the lot(s) at any time, in which case any resulting shortfall, plus costs<br />
including accounting fees, interest, insurance and resale expenses, shall be met by the original buyer;<br />
4) To apply any monies due at any time from Prestie to the buyer in payment of the outstanding amount;<br />
5) To take legal action against the buyer for damages for breach of contract.<br />
9. RETURN OF LOTS: A lot may be returned, within a reasonable time, only because of an error in the description: see clause 2 for the<br />
definition of "the description". A lot that has been inspected by the buyer or by the buyer's agent cannot be returned for any reason. A lot<br />
that is illustrated in the catalogue or of which an illustration has been supplied to the buyer or to the buyer's agent cannot be returned for<br />
any reason that is apparent from the illustration.<br />
A lot expressed to be a "range", "group", "selection", "array", "collection"," accumulation" or similar, or any other lot containing more than<br />
10 items - excepting sets of stamps - is always offered "as is" and cannot be returned for any reason. Similarly, other lots offered "as is"<br />
cannot be returned.<br />
10. "EXTENSIONS": A request for an extension to submit a lot to a recognised expert or expert committee for a Certificate of Authenticity<br />
must be made in writing prior to or on the day of the auction. Prestie shall have an absolute discretion not to grant an extension. [In<br />
particular, an extension will not normally be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate of Authenticity or if the stamp(s) has/have<br />
perforated initials (perfins).] If an extension is granted, the buyer must make payment in full for the lot including the buyer's premium, in<br />
accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8. The amount paid including the buyer's premium will be refunded in full if the lot is returned with<br />
an acceptable "bad" Certificate. All costs associated with obtaining a certificate shall be borne by the buyer, unless the lot is found to be<br />
not as identified in the catalogue, in which case all costs associated with obtaining the Certificate shall be refunded to the buyer.<br />
A lot described as being defective in any way may not be returned should the Certificate obtained mention any fault not noted in the lot<br />
description. The buyer shall not be entitled to reject an item if the certificate includes any findingt that does not materially affect the<br />
grading of the lot.<br />
Unless otherwise agreed, nomination of the appropriate expert or expert committee shall be made by Prestie, and Prestie will be<br />
responsible for submitting the lot to that expert or expert committee. Should Prestie agree to the buyer's nomination of an expert or<br />
expert committee, the extension granted will be for a period of no more than 90 days from the date of the auction. If a Certificate<br />
has not been obtained within 90 days from the date of the auction, the extension shall lapse and Prestie may thereafter refuse to<br />
accept the return of the lot.<br />
11. GOVERNING LAW: These Terms of Sale shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria.<br />
12. Submitting a bid by any method constitutes acknowledgment and acceptance of these Terms of Sale.

position 49 from the left-hand pane (confirmed by the sheet margin at left), exceptional<br />

unmounted, Cat $7500+. Superb! A breath-taking stamp that will enhance the finest of<br />
collections.<br />
[Only a very small percentage of Kangaroo stamps - our experience suggests it is well<br />
below 1% - are really well centred. This stamp is significantly better centred than the<br />
unmounted Two Pounds that sold for $15,525 at our auction of 22/4/2006. The side-margin<br />
enhances the outstanding appearance, and the Plate Flaw is a bonus. We have been<br />
advised by our vendor that this stamp has not been on the market for almost 20 years. Truly,<br />
this is a "golden opportunity" for the connoiseur collector]{Page 27.1}<br />

"G'day from Down Under": the Trevor Davis Destination Mails<br />
[Trevor Davis is one of the most respected postal history dealers in Great Britain. He is also a leading collector, having enjoyed<br />
assembling a number of fine collections over the past 30 or so years. One of his "fun" collections that developed into a major study was<br />
Destination Mail from the Australian Colonies. Major portions of this material were sold in recent years, including at our Rarities Auction<br />
on 12/5/2007. This is the last of the collection but even among those offered here there are many fine and rare covers, a large number<br />
of them to exotic or "difficult" destinations. These days many advanced students recognise that a "common" cover or rate can be<br />
greatly enhanced by obtaining a relevant item addressed to somehere well off the beaten track. While Peru or Rumania are common<br />
destinations for mail from Argentina or Germany respectively they are in the "rarely seen" category for mail from Australia. Similarly,<br />
collectors of many other countries will recognise that mail FROM Australia is in their "highly desirable" category. We commend this<br />
material to our clients]<br />

SOUTH AUSTRALIA - NORTHERN TERRITORY POSTAL HISTORY<br />
[We are pleased to offer the collection formed by the late Victor Bullock of Adelaide. "The Territory" is our Wild West: In 1871 there<br />
were 201 whites in an area larger than New South Wales, compared with South Australia's population of 185,000. By 1883 the white<br />
population had swelled to 2000, but the effects of recession two decades later caused this figure to be halved by 1908! Growth<br />
thereafter was steady but even in 1954, at 16489, it was still less than 10% of South Australia's population 70 years earlier! Thus it<br />
should be understood that most post offices were both remote and little utilised. Very little postal history has survived and most<br />
datestamps even on stamp or piece are rare. It is a highly challenging collecting field. However, the small collector base means that<br />
most NT material is grossly undervalued relative to its rarity. This then is an opportunity for new entrants who don't have unlimited<br />
resources. References are from "The Postal History of the Northern Territory" by Ed Williams, and "Squared Circles..." by Overton]<br />

[It isn't often that a collector has the opportunity to own a unique item, a stamp of equivalent rarity to<br />
the famed 1c British Guiana, the New Gaspé Provisional, or the Tre Skilling Banco Error of Colour.<br />
Some will object that this modest little stamp, being "nothing more" than a perforation variety, is hardly<br />
in the same league. Granted, but it is in much the same category as the famous 1c "Z" Grill of the<br />
United States, a stamp that on the face of it is decidedly pedestrian, despite which it is worth<br />
$US3,000,000. And, it must be noted, there are two "Z" Grills, although one is locked away in an<br />
institutionalised collection]{Page 77.1}<br />

1857 two-page letter (without the envelope) to Charles Philip Hippolytus Baron de Thierry (in New<br />
Zealand) headed "Norfolk Island/May 19th 1857" and signed "Ruth Quintal", an intimate missive that<br />
hints at more than just a social acquaintance: "...I still fondly think of the happy hours we have spent in<br />
your agreeable society at Pitcairn...I am sure your good heart will make up what is wanting in this<br />
letter. Surely you will not attribute it to lack of affection...believe me to be yours ever truly and<br />
affectionately", minor wrinkling and soiling but wholly legible. [A very early letter from the Pitcairners<br />
who were relocated to Norfolk in June 1856, and unusually from a woman. Ruth Quintal was born on<br />

Island/May 22nd 1863" and signed "George H Nobbs", multiple folds & overall soiling still entirely<br />
legible. [George Hunn Nobbs was the effective leader of the Pitcairn community and supervised their<br />
relocation to Norfolk. He arrived on Pitcairn in 1828 and quickly assumed the roles of schoolteacher &<br />
pastor, though it was only in 1852 that he travelled to England to be ordained. This letter highlights the<br />
dangers to the Pitcairners of disease: "...We are in continual dread of the introduction of Variola<br />
[smallpox] as a great number of our little ones have not been vaccinated...We have a great deal of<br />
sickness introduced from Auckland, the Bay [of Islands] and Monganui, and shall continue to be so<br />
infected...so long as...trading vessels visit us so frequently. One half of the school children, and many<br />
grown persons are...suffering from Catarrh or Influenza, myself among their number..." Nobbs died on<br />
Norfolk in 1884. See also Lots 994 to 996 under Pitcairn Island]{Page 119.1}<br />

the variety), the registration number obscured by a British registration label affixed at London, vertical<br />
folds clear of the stamp & a bit soiled. [While we disapprove of covers being destroyed, someone has<br />
already attacked this one so, even though it's probably the only example of SG 48a recorded on cover,<br />
we would not blame a purchaser for keeping just the stamp, and our estimate is for the stamp only<br />

1850 stampless entire to the writer's sons at San Francisco and endorsed "Mr Hyam Joseph<br />
will render the Baron de Thierry a great favour by seeing to the delivery of this letter to his<br />
sons", the letter headed "Pitcairns Island/April 12th 1850" speaks of arrival at Pitcairn on the<br />
Noble, and states "...Captain Parker, who commands the ship, went off and has left us here,<br />
not knowing how or when we shall be able to get off again...Captain Parker carried off all our<br />
clothes and property, and has left us destitute of everything...", and is signed "Thierry", some<br />
staining/soiling and some splitting repaired with archival tape but wholly legible. A rare and<br />
important historical document, and one of the earliest items of mail from Pitcairn Island in<br />
private hands.<br />
[de Thierry was one of the most colourful adventurers of the 19th Century. After one of his<br />
agents "purchased" from Maori chiefs 40,000 acres in New Zealand in exchange for 36 axes<br />
- shades of Stuyvesant and Batman! - de Thierry declared himself "Sovereign Chief of New<br />
Zealand"! In 1835, he proposed to cut a canal across the Panama isthmus. En route from<br />
Panama to New Zealand he was so intoxicated by the Marquesas he proclaimed himself<br />
"King of Nukuhiva"! Encyclopedia of New Zealand states "In February 1850 he sailed for<br />
California, two of his sons having preceeded him to the goldfields, but on the way was<br />
marooned for a month on Pitcairn Island..." this, of course, being the incident described in<br />
this letter! The badly defective Nobbs Correspondence, sold at auction in 2005, included a<br />
number of earlier letters to Pitcairn, but the earliest from Pitcairn was dated 1854]{Page<br />

995 L B - (late) undated letter (without the envelope) to Baron de Thierry at Honolulu, headed "Pitcairns Island"<br />
& signed "George H Nobbs", a bit worn and some minor repairs effected with archival tape but wholly<br />
legible. This is a marvellous document in which the removal of the Pitcairners to Norfolk Island in<br />
1856 is foreshadowed. Nobbs states "I most sincerely console with you on the loss of your property<br />
on board of the Noble and also of the failure of prospects in California...I trust that in Honolulu you will<br />
find a more eligible a place for your various and valuable talents...in regard to the future destinies of<br />
the people under my care, there is a report extant that her majesty's government have in contemplation<br />
to expatriate them to Norfolk Island, first removing the members of the penal settlement...it would be<br />
the best suited...of any spot on the inhabitable globe..." George Hunn Nobbs, who had served in both<br />
the British & Chilean navies, arrived at Pitcairn in 1828 & quickly assumed the roles of schoolteacher &<br />
pastor. Over time he became the effective leader of the community and supervised their transfer to<br />
Norfolk, where he remained after 16 of the islanders returned to Pitcairn in 1859, followed by a further<br />
4 families in 1864]{Page 122.1}<br />

1851 lengthy letter (without the envelope) to John Adams (the Younger), headed "Honolulu, Sandwich<br />
Islands/May 31st 1851", a bit soiled but largely fine and wholly legible, a second sheet - with de<br />
Thierry's signature - missing though the four pages that remain have wonderful content: "...There is an<br />
impression here among the white people that...one could employ a family of Pitcairn people...I would<br />
be the first to warn you against such an offer, as it would inevitably break you up as a community...i<br />
want to see you employers and not employed for others...The [Hawaiian] population is fast breaking<br />
up...owing to the maladies introduced here...In morality the people are sadly degraded, and I would<br />
dread to see your exemplary families thrown into contact with those of the native race...how long these<br />
islands will be under a native king is a matter of the greatest uncertainty. The King is forever getting<br />
himself into trouble with European nations...The Americans have long had an eye to these islands...I<br />
shall remain at Honolulu 10 or 12 months longer, having promised the French Consul to act as<br />
chancellor of the consulate until his return from Paris where he is gone to try to obtain the settlement of<br />
the difficulties with King Kamehamaha III...Mr Brodie published it as his opinion that Norfolk Island<br />
would be the best of all places for you...at Norfolk Island you would to all futurity be branded with<br />
convict association being the place to which doubly convicted criminals are sent. It would indeed be a<br />
sorry choice for the descendants of the mutineers of Bounty...Some people here are of opinion that<br />
you must remain a secluded community, but that too is a very fatal error...more of the European stock<br />
must be allied to you by marriage, or else your own race will degenerate and fall back with every<br />
generation not only in the body but also in the mind. You are, as it were, one family, and constant<br />
succession of unions with each other must ultimately bring many evils down upon you..."<br />

[Charles Dallas was Governor from 1828 until 1836. Between 1821 & 1833 St Helena was<br />
administered by the East India Company. We expect that very little mail of any kind - and especially<br />
local mail - survives in private hands from this period. The contents are also extraordinary: "...we take<br />
the freedom [sic] to present a few Amboina shells and some arms belonging to the inhabitants of the<br />
SW coast of New Guinea or Papua..." and signed "The Commander and Officers of/the Dutch Sloop of<br />
war Triton", who were returning to Europe after a voyage to New Guinea where they had founded Fort<br />
Du Bus on Triton Bay & declared the area a Dutch possession! It is believed this is the earliest postal<br />
