| Abstract: | I have been trying to build up a listing of the postal markings used by the Knight's in operating their postal service and the listing is now quite substantial. Dr Ganado wrote articles for the PSM magazine on how the service operated and what the rates were. A list of early items related to the Lazara correspondence is included, having been obtained from a small book by Robson Lowe. ROUTE PADUA-MALTA. "There are only 19letters in this section between 3 October 1789 and 20 August 1790 one of which (22 March 1790) has the handstamp VENEZIA. This letter and nine others have rates in black, eight having a double rate, the second being in bajocchi. One letter was endorsed "P. Venise ". [excerpt] |
