France Prephilately

I have been offered a wonderful collection of French stampless covers
from 1628 to 1867. Before I decide to purchase or not, I need to read up
on the markings etc. Can anyone here suggest a book (French is OK!) that
covers this period and its markings?
Many thanks in anticipation.

Thanks Jay. That is one fantastic site! One could spend hours looking at
such goodies! It would be helpful however to get some idea of scarcity
of markings so I can come to some sort of idea about the price of the
collection. Thanks once again.

In France you have 3 books for letters without stamps !

- a very old one: "la poste de l'ancienne France" From Rochette (issued
in the 1960 th, with supplements that you can find when you are happy
between 200 and 400 ¤!! I have only a bad copy of the first book

- a red book "les marques linéaires de Francer 1792 - 1832) from J and
V Pothion, you cannot buy it mint only used (100/200 ¤ ) I have a copy;
should be issued again at end ot this year by BAUDOT;

- the same tittle from A MATHIEU, same price and I have it not

- a green book, giving worth of all "catalogue des cachets à date type
11 12 13 14 15 " all round cancelations before and after 1849 but
without stamp from A CHEVALLIER, I have the book but I think it is no
more possible to find it mint (A. Chevallier died some years ago).


If you'd like more informations about some cancelation, please let me
know directly, what kind, what town, what date and if possible
dimension in mm (length, higth)!!

Sorry for my bad English!!

Have a nice week end!

happy means lucky imo.

Considering the question (1628-1687), only the first
reference is relevant.
And I believe it is "La poste de l'ancienne France", by L.
Lenain, I think you mistyped Rochette for Lenain ?
However, I am not at all an expert in 17th century french
covers.

It may also mean "satisfied", e.g. to be happy with a given result, to be
able to accept the result

yes, indeed, it is LENAIN, I was disrurbed because I was searching an
old letter from PARIS in the old book about Paris cancelations, this
time from Rochette (and J POTHION).

the French letters between 1628 and 1687 are sometimes not so
expensive, specially when great towns or towns where wine is produced
for instance!! But some of them are sell hundred of ¤; have you only
towns or also army letters?

Considering the OP stated: "stampless covers from 1628 to
1867.", the "red"

^^^^^^^^^^^
book would also apply to the latter part of the
'collection'.

Oops I misread 1687 for 1867. So sorry.

Many thanks your replies, especially Jean-Paul for his list of books.
Most helpful! It gives me some literature to beg, borrow or steal!
