    Incoming from Greek offices in Egypt 1866 (Feb 6): Prepaid cover from the Greek P.O. in Alexandria to Corfu, bearing Consecutive Athens Printing 80 l. rose-carmine, a superb adhesive with large to enormous margins and fresh colour, Alexandria despatch cds and PED (Foreign Paid to Destination) handstamp, both in blue alongside. The stamp was obviously not cancelled upon despatch, this was done upon arrival by '106' numeral of Corfu. Reverse with Kerkyra transit cds (Feb 9). Vertical file fold well away from stamp and postmarks, nevertheless an unusual and interesting cover. Cert. Holcombe (1990) Hellas 22.
