    1841: 1 d. pink envelope used in 1853 from Nottingham addressed to "Son Altesse Royale le Duc Maximilien" in Munich, Bavaria cancelled by rare NOTTINGHAM Wessex type double arc despatch cds (Aug 24) in black and prepaid notations at "5 d. + 2 s. 6 d. / 2 s. 11 d." in red manuscript with corresponding oval "PD" and 'London / Paid' cds of transit. The 2 s. 11 d. ignores the 1 d. pink and pays the double rate, via France for an under ½ ounce letter (5 d. British + double the 1 s.  3 d. Franco / German postage). A marvellous cover for the connoisseur.rnProvenance: Cavendish, Derby, 23-24 Jan 2002.rn
