Reverse with circular wax seal of Leon Chefneux in red alongside 1894 Somali Coast 75 c. orange & violet-brown (Ceres 16) cancelled by "Djibouti / Postes" datestamp (Feb 7) in blue. Octagonal French Paquebot "La Reunion a Marseille / L.V. No. 4" datestamp (Feb 10) and both Obock cds and Paris cds on reverse (Feb 21). The cover sensibly opened for Exhibit display, despite the addressee's name (Chefneux) being erased, a major rarity of Ethiopian philately - just three covers (one is a front) have survived from the first franked mail from Ethiopia - all were sent by Leon Chefneux to philatelists to announce the issue. Cert. J-F. Brun (2010).rnrnNote: The letters travelled by camel caravan to Djibouti and from there to Obock as Djibouti as yet had no harbour.
