According to the 1860 Brazil-France Convention the franking prepaid the 280r. single rate up to 7,5 gr. with the consequence of the "8" décimes manuscript charge being crossed out, as a result of probable misinterpretation of the postal regulations which had been recently introduced. A very rare combination of this scarce maritime postmark with Brazilian adhesives, these also representing a most unusual franking. RHM 12, 13, 15. Ex Lima. Starting Price US$ 1,500
