Great Britain
1840 One Penny Black
Plate 11
TD (original re-entries), good to very large margins, tied to immaculately clean and uncreased entire letter to St. Helier, Jersey, by a crisp and practically upright black Maltese Cross cancellation, which leaves the re-entries clear, and with a superb, upright Wimborne c.d.s. of 21 May 1841 alongside. The entire is written from a convent and headed + The Holy Will of God. A spectacular new discovery from a volume of original correspondence. Perhaps the finest known cover bearing a single Plate 11 Penny Black. Exhibition quality. Photo.
