    Second day of usage 1849: Cérès 20 c. black on yellowish paper, a fine and fresh example with four regular large margins, tied by type 14 "LOURDES 2 JANV. 1849 (63)" cds on the second day of the issue to entire letter, inforrmation strike alongside, the letter dated internally "Lourdes le 2 Janvier 1849". Mailed to Tarbes, reverse with arrival cds of the same day. Lightest vertical file fold of no importance, an attractive cover with delightful appearance, a perfect stamp well documenting the second day of issue of a French stamp. Signed Calves; cert. Boule (1997) Yvert = € 15'000 / Maury 3 = € 14'300.rnNote: During the two first weeks of January 1849, the cancellation of the newly issued stamps was not well organized. Two circulars by the Postal administration led to confusion in the Post Offices on the methods of obliteration. A planned cancellation by a grill obliterator was not available prior to the third week of January.
