Taxed in Tunis with 1888 25 c. black on rose in a strip of three and 1 fr. green-olive in a horizontal pair (Yv TT 5+20), tied by pen strokes. In Lyon, the letter was taxed again with type Duval 50 c. black in a horizontal strip of three, 15 c. black and 10 c. black (Yv TT 20+16+15), this was miscalculated. Some edge wear as to be a expected from a cover of that size, nevertheless an impressive mixed usage of timbres taxe from Tunesia and France.
