CubaOutgoing Mail1804, Oct. 27. Ship's register cover belonging to the "Nuestra Señora del Carmen" which sailed from Havana to Barcelona, showing bright strikes of elusive "Havana/Franco" oval (P.E. 15) and two-line "Islas De/Barlovento." (P.E. 4) handstamps in dark red, both applied twice on dispatch, with signature of the postal clerk Joseph Alvarez. Despite faults, highly attractive strikes for this extremely rare combination of postmarks, and one of the very few ship's register envelopes originating from Cuba. Ex Kouri.
