    1857: Entire letter from Venice to Livorno struck with framed DA VENEZIA / COL VAPORE datestamp (29/5), with Forwarding Agent's cachet on reverse M. GARIBOLDI / SHIP BROKER / VENICE in blue and manuscript above "Forwarded by" who misdirected the letter to Trieste with consequent charges on reverse '6+6' centesemi and a further '8' to pay on arrival. An unusual entire - due to the Agent's inefficiency, the cachet not surprisingly unlisted by Rowe.
