  • Losnr. : 1508 Brasilien

    60 reis black, Fine Impression on yellowish paper, the superb top marginal horizontal pair, huge margins and full marginal line at top (First Composite plate, State B, positions 2-3) in a resonant deep shade, used on 1844 cover from Pernambuco to Santos, correctly pre-paying the single ship rate of 120 r., tied by PERNAMBUCO SHIELD datestamp (Jan 29) in black (Ayres fig. 1548). Some ageing to the ink and ironed file fold but an extremely attractive and very rare cover. Illustrated in 'Bulls Eyes on Cover' by Juchert / Maassen on page 221; just three covers are recorded with the Pernambuco Shield cancellation on the Bullseye issue - all with different frankings for the 120 reis rate, one of which is repaired and this being without doubt the most beautiful of the three.rnrnProvenance: Collection Norman S. Hubbard, March 1986, lot 2080; Collection Hugo Goeggel, Corinphila sale 178, Feb. 2013, lot 4139.
