1879, Jan 16. Cover (slightly reduced at right) from Braila to Vienna, bearing First Bucharest print 5b. olive-yellow and 10b. blue pair, all tied by oval "Posta Ambulanta/N° 1/Bucuresci_Itzcani" handstamp (the first T.P.O. type to be introduced -1.5.1875-), with arrival on reverse. Oval T.P.O. cancellations are very scarce; as far as we can say, this represents a unique usage on cover (not postcard). Mi. 44, 45a.
