1859, 2r. red, setting of 200, graced by predominantly large balanced margins, tied by neat ''Correos/Sep 1/La Guaira'' cds in blue on 1863 cover to Caracas (Boulton correspondence). The franking paid the rate up to 1 1/2 oz for a distance not exceeding 25 miles. A delightful stamp, which, together with the cancellation, places it among the most attractive extant on cover. This cover has the added importance of being the only recorded bearing a single franking of this denomination carried inland. Cert. Moorhouse. Ex Heister.
