The cover originally sent from Lima with docketing of receipt (25 October 1871) on reverse; re-used from Ayacucho to Huancavelica, contrary to regulations, and the extraordinary franking of 1 peseta adhesives tied by twenty-three strikes of the floral registration marking over the original Lima datestamps of January 1872. One strip of three 1 p. with damaged stamp and a few other imperfections of no great significance, however, without doubt the largest known franking for the 1 p. value and the largest recorded mixed combination franking of these stamps.
