1844 60r black, type II, intermediate impression, a stunning vertical strip of three from the upper margin of the sheet, clear to huge margins, except for one stamp being touched at right, paying the double weight maritime rate not exceeding 3/4 oz on October 1st, 1845 entire letter from Porto Alegre to Rio de Janeiro, tied by ''Porto Alegre/Sul'' circular handstamps, with similar cancellation but dated on front which was a type usually applied as an accompanying c.d.s., small tear at right of middle adhesive as a result of a vertical crease which horizontally affects the stamp, in no way detracting from this rarity which is in above average condition for this issue.



A postal history rarity of great significance, being unique as the largest multiple from the elusive second plate on ''Bull's Eye'' paper known on cover (very few multiples off cover are in existence), which is the most valuable combination for a used multiple printed on this desirable paper, to be considered as one of the most important covers of the ''Inclinados''; 2010 Moorhouse certificate; RHM 6C (54.000 R$ off cover);
