Galicia', cancelled by fine strike of the "C81" obliterator with 'Bahia' datestamp in black below (June 4). 'London / Paid' and circular 'PD' applied in red (June 30) on obverse with Calais transit and arrivals on reverse (July 1). Slightest of aging to perfs. but a fine and unusual cover - the 3 d. rose plate 12 was not issued to any British Post Office in Brazil and this is the latest reccorded usage of British stamps from this Office.
