A stunning piece from the first period of 1863-1864, when the city post stamps could be used only locally within St. Petersburg or Moscow.rnThe receiver of this letter is Cornelius Otto Schütt (1798-1865) with his address being "at the Moika, corner Kirpivnij perulok, in his own house, St. Peterburg". Schütt came from Hamburg and was the founder of a famous brewery dynasty in St. Petersburg.rnProvenance: Pavlovsk collection, 92. Corinphila sale (March 1996), lot 4519.
