The Ben D. Palmer International Gold Medal Collection

VICTORIA Internal and Foreign Destination Mail 1854 – 1912

The Ben D. Palmer collection deals with letter, packet and newspaper rates, supplemented by registration and late fees, as initially set out by the Post Offi ce of Victoria commencing with the Post Offi ce Act of 1854.

The Colony of Victoria was created in 1851 from the Port Phillip District in New South Wales. Mail between the colonies is often scarce due to low populations. Foreign Mail is infl uenced by the Gold rushes of the

1850‘s’which brought people from all over the world to the colony where their only means of communication was by way of maritime mail. Rates ranged initially from those to London plus the rate from Great Britain, or by treaties either arranged for the Australian Colonies by Great Britain or ones arranged by the individual

Australian Colony. Routes, such as via Marseilles, Brindisi, Naples or San Francisco show also differing rates of postage. When Victoria joined the Universal Postal Union (UPU) with effect from 1 October 1891 a

common rate to member countries of 2½ d. per half ounce was established.

Ben Palmer began specialising in the philately of the Australian States in his early teens. Having published numerous articles in ‚Sydney Views‘ since 1993, he published his fi rst solo book

‚THE PRE-UPU DESTINATION MAIL OF VICTORIA‘ with the Australian States Study Circle of The Royal Sydney Philatelic Club in 2009 (Orders can be placed with the Australian States Study Circle,

GPO Box 1751, Sydney 2001 Australia. Price Australian $ 160.00 plus postage).

Ben Palmer is a member of the New South Wales Exhibition Standing Committee (NESC), The Royal Philatelic Society London (RPSL) and an associate member of the Society of Postal Historians (SPH)

At London 2010 International Stamp exhibition the Ben Palmer Collection was awarded ‚Gold‘.
