    1859: 10 gr. 'carminio rosa' from plate II, two single examples in combination with 2 gr. 'rosa brunastro' from plate I, three fresh and fine adhesives, large to huge margined, tied by boxed ANNULLATO to second page of entire letter from Molfetta with Austrian vessel to Trieste, the cover endorsed "Vapore". Obverse struck with crisp "MOLFETTA 21 LUG. 1860" cds, reverse with framed TRIEST arrival (July 23) datestamp in red. Attractive and full of postal history content, an astonishingly rare usage to Austria, the franking paid the double shipmail rate, while the Austrian post charged the receiver with the double rate of '20' kreuzer. Cert. Colla (2022) Sassone = € 4'800.
