    1849 (April 4): Entire letter from Lezay to Poitiers with front of cover showing LEZAY datestamp of despatch in black and struck in error with handstamped '2' décimes charge marking. The 1849 Cérès 20 c. black on yellowish found to be applied on reverse as a seal to the letter, the Postmaster annulled the '2' handstamp with both black and red impressions of the grill postmark, cancelling the adhesive in red. The stamp with minor closed tear at upper left presumably achieved on opening the letter, otherwise in immaculate condition. A rare and most attractive entire that displays well. Certs. Calves (2008) and Brun (2014).
