UNITED STATES - ROOSEVELT ALBUM
1847-1902 "Roosevelt presentation album" containing 308 different small die proofs (including Cuba Scott's cat. No. 227-31,E2), mounted on 17 double sided gilt-edged gray card pages (also seven blank pages) in a padded leather-bound album (slightly worn). The proofs are bright, fresh and complete, with Special Delivery, Postage Dues, Carriers and Locals, Officials and Newspaper stamps. The condition, aside from a few incomplete glassine interleaves, is generally v.f., with some usual oxidation to rose colors. Of the 85 originally printed, only a handful of these albums remain intact. This album was presented in 1903 to Francis E. Leupp and bears his name in gold on the cover,

1825-78 Transatlantic Forwarding Agents, six-frame exhibit containing 103 covers (FLs) to and from Mexico. In the absence of formal international postal ties for many nations, forwarders provided a link between official and private systems to expedite mail. Forwarding agents normally arranged for the receipt and dispatch of communications. While they rarely carried the mail themselves, they had close ties with shipping companies and occasionally collected small fees for their services. The majority of the items in this exhibit are from United States, England and France, arranged geographically by locations where forwarders operated and where much of the mail was exchanged. Mexican cities come first (Guanajuato to London, Mexico and Veracruz incl. "acheminee par Leverger Frs Vera Cruz", "Acheminee Ms Aloe.. Freres Vera Cruz", via Haiti and Fort de France, Oajaca, Orizava, Tabasco, Mazatlan and others), then Havana and ports on the Gulf Coast. Philadelphia and New York are next (the latter was the most i

1846-48 mail delivery during the Mexican-American War, exhibit containing 50+ letters, neatly written-up on pages, arranged in several sections. The first includes mail from troops in the north (General Zachary Taylor's command). It flowed through Point Isabel and Brazos, staging areas at the mouth of the Rio Grande. Manuscript and handstamps were employed, sometimes together. The second section deals with mail from the forces of Gen. Winfield Scott, who marched on the capital of Mexico though the port of Veracruz. Postal agents there, used distinctive handstamps, some of which were similar to the then current Mexican postmarks. There are also letters from the correspondence of a North Carolina officer whose company did garrison duty at Gen. Taylor's camp near Saltillo. The collection contains examples of field office postmarks and various mail routings used during the invasion and temporary occupation of Mexican territory. Dale's original research demonstrates that handstamps used in the field appear

Some postmasters made their own stamps, others used the "Sello Negro" handstamps, or the remaining supplies of the obsolete 1856 and 1861 issues. The postmaster of Jalapa found a very small supply of the 1r and 2r 1861 issue, used a few in Jalapa and sent the rest to his sub offices. This stamp, known as the "Perote Provisional of 1867" has the small Jalapa district overprint (as used on the Eagle issue).
