    1859 (July 19): Great Britain 1858/69 2 d. blue pl. 7 used on 1859 cover from Gibraltar to Tangier, Morocco tied by bold "A26" obliterator with single ring GIBRALTAR cds in blue at left (July 19). The Tangier British Post Office opened in April 1857, this being one of the earlier covers received that would have been handled by that Office. File fold away from the somewhat toned adhesive but scarce, we have just one more 2d. single franking to Tanger recorded, from the same correspondance but mailed one month earlier on 19 June 1859.rnProvenance: Soler y Llach, Barcelona, 22 March 1994, lot 256.
