318 New Zealand; Antarctic; 1904-1912 quite a remarkable postcard, having postal connections
  with three different expeditions. The card is a picture postcard, the front having on the left half
  printed photographs of the officers and crew of presumably the relief ship Morning.
  The card is addressed to J.J. Kinsey at Christchurch (who was New Zealand agent for Scott and
  for Shackleton), and is signed at lower left of address side “W. Colbeck” (Lt. William Colbeck
  RNR was commander of the Morning [previously a Norwegian vessel called Morgenen]).
  Stamps and postmarks are as follows, chronologically;
  {1} NZ 1d Universal (booklet stamp) cancelled LYTTLETON/1 AP 04. [This is the date that
  Discovery, accompanied by Terra Nova and Morning, returned to NZ from Scott’s 1901-4
  expedition, arriving at Lyttleton harbour.]
  {2} NZ 1d with King Edward VII/Land overprint, cancelled BRIT. ANTARCTIC EXPD./NZ/2.30PM/
  MR 4/09. [4 March is the date that the shore party returned to the Nimrod during Shackleton’s
  1907-9 expedition, was the official closing date of the post office at Hut Point, and the day
  that Nimrod left McMurdo Sound for NZ.]
  {3} NZ 1d with VICTORIA/LAND overprint (showing the “raised ‘IA’” variety), cancelled BRIT.
  ANTARCTIC EXPD./NZ/10.45PM/9 FE/11. [This date is that of the first mail from the ill-fated Scott
  1911-12 Terra Nova expedition, despatched from Cape Evans on the Terra Nova.]
  {4} NZ 1d with VICTORIA/LAND overprint, cancelled BRIT. ANTARCTIC EXPD./NZ/3.15PM/31 JA/12.
  [This date is only seen on mail addressed to Kinsey. There has been doubt for many years as to
  whether mail with this date of cancel was properly carried through the polar mails, or may
  have been pre- or post-dated. Also Capt. Scott’s 1911-12 Terra Nova expedition.]
  We are as certain as we can be that this item was carried back from the first expedition, mail
  from which is particularly scarce. The chances are that the postcard revisited the Antarctic on
  one or both of the later expeditions, although Kinsey was responsible for numerous items of
  philatelic inspiration (it was Kinsey's suggestion that the special stamps were arranged for the
  later expeditions). Our tendency is to believe that {3} was probably proper use, but that {4}
  was probably by favour.
  Fine but for minor faults, as to be expected. [view image] .. ..                   £400. to £700.

CREDIT CARDS We are happy to accept MasterCard and Visa credit card payments, as well as payments by Switch and Delta. This facility can be used by room purchasers (who pay their accounts at the auction), by other local customers (who pay their bill in our shop), and by postal buyers. In order to deal with postal clients, our bid forms have been designed to make space for credit card instructions. If you want your purchases charged in this way, please complete the appropriate section. Do not complete these details unless you want to pay by credit card, and to have the lots posted.
