1841, 1d red-brown, Alphabet II, FD, tied by indistinct barred numeral obliteration to entire dispatched from ”PENMAEK MAUR” via ”CONVAY SP 6 1852” and ”London 7 SP 1 1852” (datestamp on reverse), Calais transit marking date ”8 Sept. 52” and transit marking ”VIA DI / PT. BEAUVOISIN” on front, addressed to ”Lord Clifford, to the care of Mess. Plowder & Co., Bankers, Rome, Italy”, charged ”66” on delivery. The 1841, 1d red-brown with large margins on all four side, adhesive and entire are in a fresh state of preservation. The entire was sent unpaid and a charge of ”66” bajocchi was raised in the Papal State to be paid by the recipient upon delivery. The 1841 1 d redbrown adhesive paid 1 d extra late fee. Or the 1 d adhesive was afixed by the sender in error for an inland letter and placed in a post office letter box, but in this case the 1d adhesive was not accepted as a part payment. An early foreign destination from the well known ”Lord Clifford correspondence” to the Italian States bearing an 1841 1 d red-brown adhesive. A very scarce usage, certificate Louis BPP.

The ”76” barred numeral, issued in 1851 to the London Chief Office for cancelling the bulk of letters collected in the District Post area, does not tie from the 1s postage stamp to the lettersheet, nevertheless it can be confirmed the 1s stamp had originally been used on the cover. Adhesive and envelope are in a very fresh state of preservation. The 1s postage is for a letter not exceeding 1/2 ounce weight routed via Liverpool and Halifax (Nova Scotia) to Bermuda. The code letter ”B” left to the adhesive stamp is thought to be a senders marking of the Bank of England. A very rare foreign destination cover to the Islands of Bermuda. Certificates Richter (1997), van der Linden BPP (1997), Royal Philatelic Society (1999), Louis BPP (2016).
