Worldwide Stamps and Postal History

1901 Wrench’s ‘Links of Empire’ British National Antarctic Expedition postcard No. 2 with Cape 1d cancelled at Cape Town (Oct 7) and postcard No. 3 with N.Z 1d cancelled at Lyttelton (Dec 24) both with the usual "ANTARCTIC / EXPDN / 1901 / S.S DISCOVERY" cachets on the front, both addressed to Karachi, India, with arrival datestamps of Tuticorin and Karachi. Card 2 also with a Durban c.d.s and card 3 with Christchurch and Colombo datestamps. Both cards with corner wear resulting in slightly rounded and creased corners, nevertheless an exceptional destination; most of these cards were sent to Britain and these are the first cards to India we have recorded.
