1900 (20 June) large part of opened-out cover registered to London bearing 1896-98 "Tae Geuk" 50p. (124), four other stamps missing, cancelled by type 4 Seoul c.d.s. with two strikes of the Seoul boxed registered handstamp and London registered oval (6.8). The reverse includes a block of sixty including the printer´s imprint. The envelope has suffered some significant damage, which is fairly normal for a package of this size, so this does not have a significant affect on the magnitude and importance of this cover - the highest franked covers and the largest multiple. A stunning and remarkable exhibition item
