    1854: Local Cover from Aigues-Vives to La Roque d'Olmes, bearing Napoléon imperf. 5 c. green, two fine and fresh adhesives with fair to large margins all round, each stamp tied by Gros Chiffres '1969' numeral lozenge with "LA ROQUE-D'OLMES (8) 19 MAI 63" despatch cds and OR in circle handstamp alongside. A very attractive cover within the same postal district, also a late usage of the Napolèon imperforated issue after January 1863 when the perforated definitives had been already in circulation and the Gros Chiffres obliterators had already replaced the Petit Chiffres lozenges.
