    1878: Indian Woman 4 r. pale violet, a fine example used on 1878 cover to Lyon, France tied by 'Guatemala' cds (June 27) in black.

Erroneously listed in the Goodman handbook with correct date but wrong cancellation (pages 85-86) with just three covers recorded to France bearing this stamp. A rare and extremely fine cover.
