MOUNTED BALLOONS. Set of 16 letters sent... - Lot 2 - Goxe - Belaisch - Hôtel des ventes d'Enghien
MOUNTED BALLOONS. Set of 16 letters sent by balloon, most of them to Geneva. These letters are preserved in envelopes bearing on each of them, the indications allowing to know the designation of the balloon, the date of the departure, the duration of the journey as well as the distance covered. It seems that on some of these letters the postage is not original. On the other hand, most of them are related to the events of the siege of Paris. Two letters are written after the printed text "Lettre-Journal de Paris, Gazette des Absents, No. 3 of Saturday, October 29, 1870 and No. 29 of Thursday, January 19, 1971.
