Mailed to Cernai, reverse with arrival cds of the same day. An extraordinary cover with delightful appearance, a perfect stamp and postmark ideally documenting the first day of issue of a French stamp. Signed Amédée Brun; cert. Calves (1988) Yvert = € 17'500 / Maury 3a = €16'500.rnrnNote: During the two first weeks of January 1849, the cancellation of the newly issued stamps was not well organized. Two circulars by the Postal administration led to confusion in the Post Offices on the methods of obliteration. A planned cancellation by a grill obliterator was not available prior to the third week of January.
