    Vera Cruz 1861: ½ r. black on buff, a superb horizontal strip of four used on 30 May 1861 cover to Mexico City, tied by "FRANQUEADO / VERA CRUZ" circular datestamps (Schatzkes fig. 1749) in black. Choice and very fine - the usage of the four ½ real adhesives showing that the initial invoices of 2 reales stamps were too low in number for this busy port. A scarce and most attractive cover. Provenance: Collection "Hidalgo", Soler & Llach, Barcelona, 11 May 1995, lot 218.
