Great Britain Stamps Used in Jamaica
Imperial Issues used at the Post Towns after the arrival of the Obliterators
Montego Bay, "A57"
1859 (3 Mar.) entire "p post" to Spanish Town, bearing 1d. rose-red pair (corner fault) and wing-margin 6d. lilac for a single letter rate prepaid 8d. for carriage over 100 miles with the letter passing through Kingston from the Northside Road to the Leeward Road, a distance of 129 miles, an itinerary not recorded by Foster, the 6d. and one 1d. cancelled "A57" and the left-hand 1d. cancelled "A76" on arrival at Spanish Town; Montego Bay and Spanish Town (5.3) datestamps on reverse. A most unusual usage of the adhesives being cancelled by the obliterators of both despatch and receiving offices. As this was only some five days after the receipt of these cancellations, perhaps some enthusiasm could be expected! Photo
