'pli d'accordeon' horizontal paper fold, touched at lower right, with partial manuscript date '1844' and part framed GRAMPARA handstamp (Ayres fig 1311) in magenta ink. A most unusual stamp: given that this issue was the first printed on the American Continent, it is surprising how few errors occurred with the Bullseye issue.
