    Entire letter with the first French stamp as an early but erroneous usage abroad 1849 (Jan 8): Cérès 20c. black on yellowish, a fresh example with good to large margins all round, tied by crisp "LYON 8 JANV. 49" type 15 cds to entire letter, directed to Duderstadt Hannover with endorsement "franco jusqu'à Strasbourg" alongside, reverse with "12 .." handstamp. The Cérès stamp was erroneously used to pay the internal postage in France and the cover was taxed first with '8' Sgr. then with '6½' Sgr. upon arrival. A very early usage within France (2nd week),probably one of the earliest usages of a French adhesive on a cover to Hannover. The sender was Ludwig von Sothen, writing to his brother Karl Wilhelm von Sothen, both members of a local Duderstadt noble family. A fine and very rare entire. Cert. Brun (2018).
