    1841: 1 d. red-brown on blued, 'Archer' plate 92, a remarkable block of twenty-two with complete horizontal row of the sheet lettered IA-IL and JC-JL, used on 1850 cover from London to Southampton, cancelled by London '17' numeral obliterators, with corresponding manuscript rate '1/10d.' at left. Margins good to touched and the cover with some creasing due to size (presumably carrying legal documents as addressed to a Solicitor), with London despatch cds and Southampton arrival (May 2) in blue on reverse. Despite faults, an extraordinary franking.
