    1858: 1 d. deep blue, used example with enormous margins on three sides and just shaved at base, tied to 1859 cover from Lima to Madrid, Spain by dotted '1-LIMA-2' handstamp in black. 'Lima' despatch cds at left (Oct 11), thence via British P.O. in Callao with double ring cds in black on reverse (Oct 12). London transit cds in red (Nov 24)  and handstruck FRANCO in blue applied on arrival in Madrid (Nov 28). Notation of payment presumably made on despatch or at Panama with '2/6d.' in red at top. A surprisingly unusual destination for early stamped Peruvian mail.
