$75.00 AUD
[Title from printed text recto]. Suva, Fiji : A. Mills, 1909. Envelope of fine marbled paper, 95 x 150 mm, recto lithograph printed in black ink, main title set within decorative border; verso blank; extremely well preserved. (Note: envelope only, contains no postcards).
Scarce pre-WW1 Pacific Islands cartophilic item printed in Suva by the postcard publisher A. Mills. This attractively designed envelope, which would have been issued with the first set of six Fanning Island postcards published by Mills, was printed on thin paper, so one imagines that not many examples would have survived in as fine condition as the one offered here.
