1865 (26 Apr.) entire letter from St. Pierre to Agen, paying the single rate via British packet with 10c. strip of three including the cliché disposed sideways at right, "timbre couché" variety, and 40c. single, boasting good margins, cleanly tied by "mqe" dotted lozenges with neat despatch c.d.s. adjacent, framed "pd" and entry c.d.s. in red at top right, backstamped in transit and arrival in France. One of the finest examples of the 10c. cliché disposed sideways on cover, of great appealing as the only major variety of the French General Colonies issues. Maury 3a, 5. Photo
