    Austrian Shipmail, Mailing Facilities on Board of Ships, Lake of Garda 1862: Local entire letter written in Malapineli nearby Peschiera del Garda and sent to Desenzano Lombardy on the Italian part of the lake, bearing 1861 5 kr. red, a fine and fresh adhesive, tied by ornate framed "Imp = Reg = Vapori" handstamp ('Muschelstempel') in black (Tchilinghirian fig. 353 / Müller 3421a) in the typical bold appearance of the late years with three-ring "PESCHIERA 15 / 7" despatch cds alongside. Front shows in addition a '5' centesimi due for the Italian part of the journey. A most interesting cover.rnNote: An exceptional usage between two neighbouring villages situated at the southern end of the Lago di Garda, where the Western part became a part of Italy together with the entire Lombardy in 1859, while the eastern shore was still under Austrian control with entire Venetia up to 1866.
