Griqualand Pre-Adhesive cover GB to Klaarwater Mission Station 1818

Griquatown. 1818. Pre-adhesive four page letter from London to the Rev. William Anderson, founder of the Klaarwater Mission Station north of the Orange River in 1801. Anderson and his wife lived with the Griqua people until early 1820. This letter is addressed to Klaarwater after it became Griquatown in 1813. One page is shown here.
UNSOLD


This is a rare item of Africana that deserves proper academic reseach. Little is known about the letter itself. It has been claimed that it is “the first letter delivered across the Orange River”. This is unlikely but where are earlier examples? It is more likely that this is the earliest surviving example of missionary mail from London to Griqualand. (A similar example is said to be in an Australian museum.) It has also been claimed that this letter was carried and delivered to Anderson by Dr John Campbell of the LMS. Anderson lived outside of the Cape Colony border but did have infrequent contact with the outside world. In 1814, before this letter was written, he fell into disfavour with Cape colonial officialdom who regarded him as an outpost of Empire who was expected to do as told. He was berated (presumably by letter) for supporting the rights of the ‘free’ Griqua who lived beyond the Cape’s borders and Britain’s jusrisdiction. There is some staining and wear which is to be expected of a fragile item that journeyed into the hinterland of southern Africa 15 years before the Great Trek. It is also claimed to have been in Sir Maxwell Joseph’s collection but there is no proof of that yet. Despite all the gaps in its history and provenance, no Griqualand collection is complete without this classic item from the dawn of trans-Orange postal history.

Victoria Falls Railway Bridge Print, 1901 Railway Timetable Backing.

Circa 1903. Victoria Falls Framed Print. Presumably an artist’s impression of the proposed bridge. The Bridge appears to have been drawn over an original painting, then reproduced. Presumably the bridge had not yet been built. Uniquely, this is mounted on a thick card railway time-table of October 1901 to May 1902 (?). The Bridge, which took just 14 months to build, was opened on 12th September 1905. This print presumably predates any photographic record of the completed bridge. A classic item for collectors of the Victoria Falls and the Rhodesias. Otto Peetoom would have loved this! Print a bit wavey under glass but otherwise fine condition.
