About this clipart
This 1860s postal cover originates from Massachusetts, addressed to “Messrs. Winans, Harrison & Winans” in St. Petersburg, Russia, and bears three US stamps (two 1¢ rose and one 3¢ blue) alongside an orange 30c French stamp. It features a red “AACHEN 15 JUIN FRANCO” transit mark and a circular “ST. PETERSBURG PAID” handstamp, indicating international routing via the German Confederation and France. The handwriting and postmarks reflect mid-19th-century transatlantic correspondence practices among American industrialists and European partners.
Used on philatelic auction sites, museum digital archives, or historical mail blogs to illustrate 19th-century international postal routes, US-French-Russian mail exchanges, and the role of merchant families like the Winans in global trade. Targets collectors, historians, and educators seeking primary-source material on pre-modern global communication.
