The French Expeditionary Corps in Mexico (1861–1867) was a

military intervention by Napoleon III to establish a pro-French

monarchy under Maximilian of Habsburg, targeting Mexico’s debt

default and seeking to expand French influence in the Americas.

Initially a joint effort with Britain and Spain, France continued

alone to seize the capital in 1863, but persistent Mexican guerrilla

resistance and U.S. pressure led to their withdrawal.

French Expeditionary Corps

in Mexico (1861–1867)

Gold Medal Collection formed by Mr. Alain Vernot

Illustration: General Bazaine attacks the fort of San Xavier during the siege of Puebla,

29 March 1863 (Jean-Adolphe Beaucé (1818-1875).

The collection of Alain Vernot, a member of the Académie de Philatélie, brings together 226 unique letters from the Expeditionary

Corps in Mexico (1861–1867), presented across 128 pages. Organized into five sections, it covers the various post offices (A through

N), exchanges between Mexico and France, internal mail, foreign corps (Belgian, Austrian, etc.), and civilian correspondence. This

exceptional collection is distinguished by the presence of items unique in the world, the earliest known dates, and letters that traveled

via rare maritime routes such as Panama or New York. It also includes major historical documents, such as letters from prisoners of war

and correspondence from Emperor Maximilian. Originating from renowned sources and accompanied by numerous certificates, this

collection has been awarded several international gold medals (Copenhagen 2024, Dubai 2026). It represents a unique opportunity

for any collector to acquire a philatelic and historical legacy of absolute rarity.

Introduction

Dear Collector and Client,

It gives us great pleasure to present this auction catalogue of Latin America, which has

a particular strength in Argentina and Mexico, as well as airmail issues throughout

with a special section of Honduras air post issues. The auction commences at 2pm

on Friday June 19th at the Everness Hotel on the edge of Lake Geneva, and includes

over 280 lots with a wealth of interesting material for the collector, with not only

single lots but also many collections and groups which will certainly include material

of interest. All the lots can be viewed in their entirety on our website.

The majority of the Argentina and Mexico come from an old-time traditional collection,

handwritten on pages in large Yvert & Tellier albums. The collector managed to

accumulate much over the years, not just the stamps and postal history of the classic

issues, but also from Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Corrientes from Argentina and

Guadalajara in Mexico. Semi-modern is also well represented and inverted centre

collectors should be interested in the dozen lots on offer in the Argentina section.

Honduras features the Alan Irving collections, with particularly strong airmails,

which were evidently decades in the making, with specialised studies, varieties and

covers throughout.

I must also bring the attention of Mexico collectors to the fabulous Alain Vernot gold

medal collection of 1861-67 French Expeditionary Corps mail in Mexico, which

will be offered intact in our French & Colonies catalogue on Wednesday 17th June

(see the advert on p.14-15).

The David Feldman team strives for excellence in the lotting and promotion of every

property entrusted to us, and we’d like to thank all our vendors for showing their faith

in us to present their items and collections in a catalogue worthy of displaying their

philatelic treasures in their best possible light. We wish you success with your bids

and satisfaction with your purchases.
