 5c Red Brown (12). Very Fine Single with Rich Color, neatly tied by "Erie Pa. Jan. 29, 1858" circular datestamp on light buff cover to Sachsen Meiningen, Germany, with Woodcut Corner Card Portraying
Indian Chief Keokuk, 5c stamp insufficiently prepaid rate to Germany, black "New-York Br. Pkt. 23" debit cds also tying stamp, red Aachen backstamp where marked for collection of "45" kreuzer in the characteristic blue ink, which the rating clerk
used to embellish Chief Keokuk with a mustache, light vertical fold at center, very fresh Keokuk, "The Watchful Fox," was born in ,he area now known as Illinois about 1780 and was poisoned to death in Kansas in 1848. A native American of
extraordinary physical and intellectual powers, Keokuk rose to become chief of the united Sacs and Foxes. A brave and accomplished warrior, Keokuk also possessed great diplomatic skills and oratorical ability, which he used at times to convince his
peers to avoid hostile engagements with whites. However, a bitter feud with Black Hawk, a volatile rival, existed for years and resulted in Keokuk's death when a member of Black Hawk's band poisoned him in 1848. The significance of this illustrated
corner card is not known, but the association between native Americans and tobacco was common in this period, and this image could well have been a form of advertising. Very Fine. To Our Knowledge, This is The Only Illustrated Corner Card Cover with
The 5c 1856 Stamp. A Magnificent Exhibition Item and Rare Usage to Germany. With 1992 P.F. Certificate and Holcombe Certificate (Image Magnifier)Search for comparables |
