Photo £2,000-2,500 Note: The outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War on 15 July 1870 resulted in difficulties with the route through France, and from September of that year mail to Europe endorsed "via Marseilles" and prepaid at the appropriate premium rate was diverted to the route via Brindisi. The September and October mails from New Zealand were surcharged 3d. per half-ounce on delivery in the United Kingdom, where an explanatory handstruck marking was applied. This was the rate-difference in charges in the United Kingdom for letters sent by the alternative routes, though for letters from New Zealand the actual rate-difference was 5d. per half-ounce. This cover is illustrated on page 59 of Vol VII of the RPSNZ handbook.

Photo £500-600 Note: At this date there were no English Packets taking mail to Marseilles, the service having been terminated and mail was being sent via Brindisi. Although this cover is endorsed via "San Francisco" it appears to have been crossed out and it certainly did not go by this route.
