    1868: 1 d. green, a fine example in an olive shade, used on 1873 cover to Valparaiso tied by large circular YQUIQUE / PERU datestamp (March 29) in black (Emsing E41 = 20 pts). Strangely, this is one of only two classic Peruvian cancellations which mention the country name 'Peru' (the other is a Tacna datestamp) - ironically, as a result of the Peru - Chile War, the town of Iquique is now Chilean.rnProvenance: Collection G. Lamy.
