    Austrian P.O. in Rhodes 1872 (Dec 18): Entire letter sent unpaid from Rhodes to Triest, presumably handed in at the port as no despatch handstamp present, reverse with 'Lloyd Agenzie / Smirne' transit cds (22/12) in black and struck on arrival in Triest with three line LETTERE ARRIVATE / COL VAPORE / DAL LEVANTE in black. Two oval Triest datestamps (Jan 4, 1873) and charged at double rate with '20' (soldi) due in blue crayon. A most unusual usage.
