    1853 (June 8): Envelope from Herbesthal via Henri-Chapelle to Venlo in the Netherlands, bearing a superb example of Medaillon 1851 40 c. rose-carmine, a superb and right marginal example with large to enormous margins all round including parts of four neighbouring adhesives, tied by perfect barred '22' numeral of the bureau de distribution in Henri-Chapelle, HERBESTHAL despatch cds and framed PD, both in black alongside. Reverse with light VENLO arrival (June 10) cds in red. Upper envelope edge refolded to protect the adhesive, otherwise a wonderful item for a connoisseur. Cert. Ferchenbauer (1973).
