    1857:  1d. red-brown (Die II), lettered BG on a highly decorative embossed ladies' Valentine envelope, tied by London / 78 duplex in black. The letter and contents would probably have conveyed a romantic message, which was sent locally to Southwark. A straight line cachet Borough is on the reverse. This stunning and very decorative showpiece with only a hint of ageing should attract a wide audience.
