Lot: 1188

1850, 300r., 60r. and 20r. black, clear to predominantly large margins, tied by dispatch cds on May 21, 1864 cover from Rio de Janeiro to Montevideo, showing red framed "P.P." h.s. alongside. Carried by the "Saintonge", prepaying the double rate to the River Plate. Negligible vertical crease hardly impinging on the 20r and 60r values, not detracting from this rare franking, with the added significance of being unusually applied on front. RHM 12, 14, 17. Starting Price US$ 400
