    Cyprus 1846 (Oct. 25): Entire letter partially prepaid from Larnaca to Syra, struck on obverse with oval "AGENZIA DEL LLOYD AUSTRIACO / LARNACA (Tranmer fig. 2), two line "LARNACA 25. OTTO." (Tranmer fig. 1) and FRANCA (Tranmer fig. 5), all in black, reverse with crisp SYRA arrival cds (Oct 21, 1846). Slitted for disinfection, the sender pais in cash the Austrian part of the journey, marked with FRANCA handstamp and cross, the receiver had to pay '20' lepta noted in red crayon. Two file folds well away from the handstamps, nevertheless a handsome cover, with a very early and highly desirable usage of the elusive oval Lloyd handstamp noted in the 1976 Tranmer publication to be in use after 1850.rnProvenance: Collection Henry W. Houser, Robson Lowe (June 1992), lot 1190; Spink, London, Dec 2008, lot 651.
