Description
A 1937 international insured parcel dispatch note (Bulletin d'expédition / Pavadadrese). This fascinating document is a record of an official inter-library exchange between the State Library in Riga and the University Library of Zurich, Switzerland. The parcel had a declared value of 99 Lats. The card is rich in postal and customs history: it features a large "ZOLLFREI" (Duty-Free) cachet, an intact original wax seal, standard blue crayon crossing for insured items, and Riga customs datestamps. Franked with 2.50 Lats using high-value large Coat of Arms stamps. The reverse shows a vital railway transit postmark from Eydtkuhnen (East Prussia) dated December 20, demonstrating the overland route, arriving in Basel just two days later on December 22
