Exceptional historic and postal together composed of [154] authentic pieces, carefully selected and preserved in sleeves. This cross-cutting lot of very high standing offers a true journey through Postal History, structured in three major axes: 1. Pre-Philately, Classics and Business Correspondence Superb Empire and Ceres franking (15c and 20c blue) on legal and banking mail (notaries, attorneys, Crédit Agricole, Paris Stock Exchange). Excellent quality of impressions: large and small number diamonds, provincial date stamps, and business marks. 2. Military Monograph: Prisoners of War (WW1/WW2), Censorship and Dispatches The heart of the lot: An in-depth study of the P.G. Depot at Romans-sur-Isère and its network. Many rare censorship marks from Detachment Chiefs (Bozel, St-Nazaire-en-Royans, Lyon factories) and hospitals (Malestroit, Nevers). Exceptional censorship marks: large stamp of the Postal Control at Pontarlier, "Geprüft" / Überwachungsstelle German, interpreter visas. Included: A superb ensemble of the D.C.A. (Colonial Artillery) in Morocco in 1927 (very clear dispatch mark) accompanied by two long handwritten letters with dense historical content (camp narratives). 3. Aérophilately, Colonies and International Mail Post-war worldwide airmail: Peru, Haiti (recommended), Chile, Cuba with superb transit marks on the back (Miami, Washington D.C.). Colonial and transitional mail: A.O.F. (Direction de la Sûreté Générale), Senegal, Madagascar, and a very beautiful selection on the postal birth of Vietnam (Indochina, Saigon, Haiphong with mixed frankings). Damaged/undeliverable mail: Fascinating letter to Argentina stamped with multiple mentions "No Conoce" and "Retour à l'envoyeur". Condition: Authentic postal use. Very good overall condition for documents that have actually traveled. All 190 photos presented in the listing reflect the quality and completeness of the lot. Very careful shipping, well padded and insured.
