Summary
| Description |
English: The island of Java relied heavily on agriculture. In 1873 the first Agricultural Congress was held in Soerakarta, followed two years later by one in Djokjakarta. The third Congress was held in 1878 from 15 to 28 May at Soerabaija. For this event Moquette produced about 2,000 envelopes which were overprinted to the effect that postage was free in accordance with Government Decree No. 37 dated 13 May 1876. The envelopes are known on white and yellow paper and the medallion in the top right corner appears in eight different colors. The medallion features various farming implements as well as the name of the Congress. Moquette gave these envelopes to the Secretariat of the Congress for them to use. |
