    1862/63: 10 c. blue, vertically creased example with good margins, used on 1862 entire letter to London, tied by BOGOTÁ pearled oval handstamp in black. Reverse with British Post Office CARTHAGENA datestamp in black (June 1) and London arrival cds (June 28) in red and charged in manuscript '1s.' to pay. The adhesive with vertical crease from repaired file fold and the cancellation strengthened but a remarkable early usage of the adhesive on a letter abroad. Cert. Moorhouse (2014).

    Note: Scott lists the date of issue of this stamp as 1863, Gibbons lists the issue date as July 1862, this cover therefore is possibly the earliest known usage of the adhesive.

    Provenance: Collection 'Gordon N. John' (Nov 1984), lot 189.
