COGH - Johnny Barth's Wonderful Collection
Johnny Barth in Denmark emailed me recently responding to Kloof's question about the Port Elizabethe oval 'Paid' and To Pay' datestamps. He also advised the following:
"I found my exhibit, and have made copies of the pages, which I hereby mail to you. I am not very good of all the IT stuff, but you are very welcome to add my pages to the home page. If you want to see my whole collection go to the Dansk Posthistorisk Selskab website.
Alternatively, click on this link to go directly there:
Hope you like it."
This is a gorgeous collection of early Cape mail. There is absolutely no question about not liking it. It is a great honour and a privilege to host this on our website. Thank you! Here's a sample taster of what's in store for viewers.

What a mind blowing taster - so much for those who say such VOC true letters ( as opposed to VOC to VOC inter Company staff messages) do not exist!
Look forward to more!
