60016 A 1878 Large Dragon Imperforate Essay - the Rare Rose Colour 

The imperforate “Large Dragon” essays of the 5 Candarins show an extra circle near 

the left claw of the central dragon; the rarest as a single stamp is this example in Rose, 

ungummed as made, with oversized balanced margins all around (trivial natural 

irregularities in the wire-wove paper). Superb showpiece. 

Only one other in this colour has ever been recorded, and this is the finer of the 

two known. As such, its importance to an exhibit or collection of the Large Dragons 

cannot be overstated. It is truly one of the “Pearls” of Chinese philately

60017 A CC C 1878 Large Dragon Imperforate Essay Block of Four 

J 

5 Candarins value printed in Brownish Ochre; the block has the extra circles near the 

left claw of the dragon, and comes from positions 19-20/24-25 of the inique imperforate 

sheet of 25. It has partial sheet margin at the foot (with strong gum bend there) and 

full original gum, with the lower pair never hinged. The colour, unusual for these essays 

and much darker than that chosen for the issued stamps, is exceptional. At a few places 

(most notable at lower right), the block shows dark specks (indicative of insufficient ink 

suffusion or homogeneity) and excess ink (which has penetrated the paper). 

Given that only two other blocks in this colour are known (ex Ireland and ex David), 

and that none share the same cliches, it is acknowledged that only two sheets were 

printed in this colour - one of which was perforated, and remains intact (see next lot) 

and another which remained imperforate and was split to produce the 3 known blocks. 

A magnificent showpiece of the earliest stages of the Large Dragon issues and 

a “Pearl” of Chinese philately.

5 Candarins with “extra circles” removed, this imperforate block from the top right portion 

of the sheet of 25 from Setting I (types 4-5/9-10) was printed in Ochre, slightly darker than 

the issued stamps. Ungummed as issued and showing couple natural inclusion specks. The 

three recorded blocks of four of the proofs are the largest recorded multiples, and this block 

is another indispensable “Pearl” showing a key step in the development and production of 

the First Issue of China. Provenance: Sir Percival & Lady David; Anna-Lisa & Sven-Eric

60018 A J Unique 1878 Large Dragon Essay Sheet with Trial Perforation 

5 Candarins brownish ochre, complete sheet of 25 with practically full margins all 

around, with trial perforation 12 1/2, some minor imperfections (small selvage nib, 

creasing in top and bottom margins) of no importance. 

For more detailed background, see full description in the “Rarities” catalogue 

The sheet shows small black spots in the inked portions, where it is evident that the 

ink was not properly homogenous. Since similar spots occur in other brownish ochre 

essays, it may be indicative of why this colour was not chosen for the issued stamps. 

This sheet, the only one of any of the “extra circle” essays with perforation, is an 

indispensable showpiece for a serious exhibit of Classic China

60020 F The Crown Jewel of Chinese Philately 

The “Countess Caroline” Cover of the Large Dragons 5 Candarins Wide Setting 

The famous cover addressed to Gräfin Caroline Tattenbach, artfully franked on reverse 

by the remarkable block of nine of the 5 Candarins Large Dragon, wide setting (Setting 

III [types 7+5, 12+8 / 19-6-20-13-14), cancelled and tied by attractive blue oval 

Peking “pa kua” cancels and showing I.G. Customs / Peking cds for March 25, 1883. Sent 

to Germany via the French post office in Shanghai; the reverse shows Chinese Customs 

Shanghai cds of March 30. The front of the cover is franked by 1.25 Francs of postage 

tied by French P.O. SHANG-HAI /CHINE cds of April 1, and shows April 8 French Maritime 

cds plus Munich, Germany arrival of May 12. While another cover (internal mail) is known 

franked by strips of 4 and 5 of the 5 Candarins, that cover is heavily stained and lacks 

the elegance and importance of this block franking. This cover has been gently cleaned. 

Type 8 (the upper right stamp) shows the “long-leg Dah” (top right character). 

Under the Postal Tariff of 1882, the franking of 45 Candarins would have paid for a 

five-fold letter rate (i.e. five times the single-weight letter rate for 0.4 Chinese oz., or 

up to 2 Chinese oz.), while the French franking also paid a five-fold letter rate to Europe. 

The cover was fully described by Ireland in his handbook on the Large Dragons, p. 105. 

When last offered by our company, in 1984, this cover set a new world record 

realisation for an Asian item at CHF 340’000. It was sold that year for nearly double 

that figure, and became the ultimate “pearl” in the Anna-Lisa & Sven-Eric Beckeman 

“String of Pearls” Collection. (In the 1997 Sotheby’s-Corinphila auction, it was 

estimated at an equivalent of e750’000) 

Provenance: Warren Cauder 

Anna-Lisa & Sven-Eric Beckeman; part of their Grand-Prix collection of the 

Large Dragons (Singapore ‘95) and its exemplary showpiece, published in 

the “Grand Prix Club” book and elsewhere, and exhibited at Claridge’s 

“Rare Stamps of the World” and at Anphilex 1997. 

This cover has been widely acknowledged ever since its achievement of the highest price 

for a Chinese item in 1984 as the “Crown Jewel” of China philately. Its impressive 

quality and presence give it pride of place as the top ambassador for China in any 

presentation of “Rarities of the World.” 

Estimate: e800’000 - e1’000’000

60021 F Mixed Franking of Large & Small Dragon Issues 

Sent to Denmark, the cover was posted at the Chinese Customs post office at Chinkiang, 

with January 9, 1887 cds tying Large Dragon 1 Candarin Bright Green and 5 Candarins 

Chrome Yellow, plus Small Dragon 3 Candarins Mauve. This 9 Candarins franking entirely 

pre-paid the equivalent 25 Centimes rate for a cover to Europe via the French post office. 

The cover was carried by the Customs Post to Shanghai, where it was backstamped on 

January 10, and deposited at the French post office there. It was further franked by a 

25c French Colonies stamp tied by the French “Shang-Hai / Chine” cds of January 11. 

Final Danish backstamp of February 2. 

Note that the cover has been sensibly opened for display, and that the Small Dragon 

stamp shows the typical rough perforation. Covers showing a mixed franking of the Large 

& Small Dragons are far scarcer than covers with Large Dragon stamps alone, and this 

cover is at the pinnacle of the finest and most attractive that have survived. 

Provenance: Anna-Lisa & Sven-Eric Beckeman (ex “String of Pearls” Collection) 

One of the “Pearls” of Chinese Philately, recognised as by far the finer of probably 

only two genuine mixed frankings of the Large and Small Dragons on one cover. 

This attractive three-colour franking is clearly one of the greatest items in classic 

China philately, and ranks according to the Beckemans as second only to the famous 

“Countess Caroline” cover.

60022 DCE J 1932 Chinese Soviet Republic Issue - the Edgar Snow Find 

The Chinese Soviet Republic, under Mao Zedong’s direction, was established in Jiangxi 

province in 1931. It was from this “small state within a state” that Mao gained the 

experience in mobile warfare and peasant organization that he later used to accomplish 

the Communist conquest of China in the late 1940s. Its collapse in 1934 under repeated 

Nationalist assaults was the beginning of the famous “Long March.” In 1932, a set of 7 

postage and 2 postage due stamps was printed at Ruijin by the Ministry of Finance. 

American journalist Edgar Snow (born 1905 in Missouri, died 1972 in Geneva) was an 

early witness and the first western newsman to obtain an interview with Mao Zedong. 

Snow’s reporting from China in the 1930s was both praised as prescient and blamed for 

the rise of Mao’s communism. 

Passed down from Mr. Snow to his family are the stamps offered here, from the 1932 

Pictorial issue: 

- single examples of the 1c, 3c, 5c and the extremely rare 30c 

- “block of three” of the 3c value and irregular “block of 9” (se-tenant vert. strip of 5 

+ block of 4) of the 1c value (minor faults) 

- singles of the 1c and 2c postage dues but with crude perforation 8 1/2 

All are without gum as issued, and have never been hinged. Some have minor creases 

or folds endemic to the soft newsprint paper. The 30c has a tear at left almost entirely 

in the margin, and is creased, otherwise all with normal to large margins and fresh 

colours (SG SR2//7, SRD8-9 variety, £59’300) 

An exceptional offer of an historic holding of stamps which are among the rarest issues 

of China

The Famous “Fayoum” Letter (2nd Century BC) 

A letter in Demotic script, written from the city of Fayoum, on two large papyrus 

fragments (reused as the soles of the feet of a cartonnage coffin). 

The letter summarises the business affairs of an Egyptian whose name remains only as 

Wah-. The subject matter of the letter is largely agricultural: line 6 reads “The 

Island of Atum” - a typical name for farmland in the Nile Valley, and there is also 

mention of vines and other crops. The period covered seems extensive, as the first line 

refers to “Year 18,” line 13 to “Regnal Year 8” and the last line mentions “Year 6.” 

Line 10 lists women’s names, including Tentese and Tenthornedjiotef. 

Among the earliest known philatelic items on papyrus. Unique historical showpiece

tHE “HOLOCAuSt” PErIOD 

41980 F 358 Unfolded Envelope made from a Parchment Section of a Destroyed Torah Scroll 5’000 

An unique historic document from the Holocaust, Stamped and sent through the post! 

Torah scrolls were rolls made of sheets of parchment. Many were desecrated during 

1939-1945 in Europe and were used for many purposes ; sandals, slippers, hand-bags, 

musical instruments, lampshades and in this instance a complete parchment sheet was 

folded and used to make an envelope. This is the sole such item to have been signed 

and dated by the desecrater who even supplies his home address. Corporal Herman 

Nelleke served in a German military unit that took part in the invasion of the Soviet Union. 

He sent a letter from the War Front using this parchment as his envelope. On the verso 

he inscribed, in German, the address of his family home in Nurndorf, Germany and added 

his own name and military postal unit D-44688 on the Russian front. The addressee is 

Mrs. Kati Nelleke apparently the soldier’s mother or wife. Alongside her address, a 20pf 

Hitler stamp overprinted “Ukraine” (Mi. 11) was affixed and postmarked Sept. 11, 1942, 

a correct usage in that area of the German occupied territories. 

This historic find was discovered in Munich after the end of World War II by Mr. Z. E. 

Kampinsky, a well known member of a Zionist Organisation in Heidenheim. On the 

parchment, purchased from a German citizen, Kampinsky wrote his name in Yiddish 

with the date of the redemption of the parchment in September 1946. 

The parchment comes from a Torah Scroll identified as having been written in 18th 

century Poland and measures 51 x 33 cm; it shows some of the original stitching. 

It includes 4 columns of script from the book of Deuteronomy. By coincidence, the 

biblical text begins with chapter 11, verse 12, and includes the second paragraph 

of the Shema, which is recited every morning and evening by observant Jews. The 

reciting of this prayer dates back to the Second Temple period (2nd century BC) and 

this well known liturgy has been recited by Jewish Martyrs before their execution! 

This envelope with stamp, which has obvious philatelic interest, was exhibited for 

the first time in May 2004 at the Tel Aviv International Stamp Exhibition where it 

won the award for “Most Interesting Item.” It has also been the subject of an article 

in the Jerusalem Post in March 2004.

This official history of the Japanese posts included examples of all stamps issued to date; 

as there were none of the 1 sen or 2 sen perforated Dragons on hand (or the original plates), 

these were reproduced using new steel plates. Of 300 “Enkakushi” issued, perhaps only a 

dozen have survived. The present example is complete with all stamps and postal stationery 

as issued, and with original silk binding (slightly worn). It was presented by members of the 

Japanese delegation at the U.P.U. Congress at Budapest in July 1896 to another delegate (as 

attested by formal inscriptions on first page). We know of only one other example of this rare 

book having changed hands during the last two decades.

franked by Italy 1889 1 Liraneatly tied by TRIPOLI DI BARBERIA / 2.8.96 squared 

circle, with “T” in oval alongside and similar ds at right, sent via Syracusa (4.8.96 cds)

1883 1sik Yellow tied to 1894 internal cover by Samutprakam cds dated 11.12.12. 

( = March 11, 1894), with Bangkok / 2 native bs on reverse. Holcombe points out that 

the cover was previously used and the bs (Thai date 10.8.8.) was believed associated 

with the earlier use, a most uncommon showpiece. 

Very fine example of an extremely scarce stamp on cover

1887 Second Issue, the complete set of seven values (2 att, 3 att, 4 att, 8 att, 12 att, 

24 att & 64 att) all in complete never hinged sheets of 120. Extremely fresh and superb. 

This is a truly remarkable set for several reasons: the outstanding quality, rarely 

found even in blocks and certainly not in larger multiples; the completeness as a set 

of sheets; and the fact that this is the only recorded set in complete sheets. 

Estimate: e30’000 - e40’000

60083 A J Unique Complete Panes of the 1847 First Issue 

Plate Proofs with SPECIMEN overprints 

We now have the honour of offering for the first time ever at public auction the unique 

complete india paper specimen proof panes of 100, in their resplendent present state. 

They are undoubtedly a “foundation” for a serious museum presentation of the 1847 

issue, and rank with the greatest of world rarities especially for their importance to 

classic USA philately. 

Condition: Fresh colours, the 5c in a vivid orange-brown, the 10c in luxuriant black, 

both enhanced by the optical properties of the brilliant white india paper on which 

they were printed. 

Continued on next page 






60083 A J Unique Complete Panes of the 1847 First Issue 

Plate Proofs with SPECIMEN overprints 

The 10c pane shows position 100 with a portion of the outside corner 

missing, and margins trimmed just into the outer right frameline at a few places, while 

the 5c pane is complete, with excellent margins, save for a tiny corner nib, also at 

position 100. Because of the nature of india paper, there are the expected trivial 

imperfections which in no way diminish the attraction of these magnificent exhibition 

items and indispensable resources for study. 

These two proof sheets encompassing the First Issue of the United States are worthy of 

the greatest exhibition collection, and comprise one of the most important museum 

displays for this - or any - issue of the United States.

cases of exigency later uses are known, but usually from Texas, making this a very 

uncommon franking. Crease at right. Scott 65X1; $2’000 on cover, with no premium for 

the uncommon late usage. With 1991 Confederate Stamp Alliance certificate.

At David Feldman, 

Excellence in Philately, 

A Passion for Rarities 

This catalogue is typical of the presentation, preparation and philatelic knowledge we bring to EVERY property 

consigned to us for sale through our semi-annual auctions. Our knowledgeable staff of philatelists and other 

specialists work to create a true “labour of love” which showcases in an appropriate manner EVERY rarity, 

specialised collection and large lot, based on over 40 years’ experience in the philatelic marketplace. 

The “Crown Jewel” of Philately, the famous “Bordeaux Cover,” franked by the 

complete 1847 “Post Office” issue of Mauritius, sold through our auctions in 

1993 for CHF6'123'750 – the all-time world’s record for ANY philatelic item! 

If YOU have a property which may be for sale in the future, it will literally pay you to contact us. Every auction 

company trumpets “high prices,” but we have set - and hold - world record prices in every area of philately, 

from individual rarities to large lots. If you want to be sure of obtaining a great result for your great philatelic 

property, get in touch as early as possible, because preparation in good time is key. 

Our auction series each Spring and Autumn both feature a separate catalogue of Rarities (often including 

highly specialised collections offered intact), large lots and estates, plus stamps and postal history from the 

world over, with separate specialised auction catalogues as warranted. 

Items for inclusion in our Autumn auctions must reach us by late June, and for our Spring auctions by mid- 

January. We can arrange to meet you at your home or office, as our staff travels extensively and we have 

representatives in 25 countries, on every continent, world-wide. 

If results matter to you (and we are sure that they do), call or write to us so that we can begin to work 

together, as your “reliable partner,” towards the intelligent presentation and promotion of your collection, 

exhibit or other holding.
