Reverse with Lyon arrival cds (April 1). Extremely rare usage. Signed Baudot with letter of explanation (1979).

    Entire letter with the first French stamp as an early but erroneous usage abroad 1849 (Jan 8): Cérès 20c. black on yellowish, a fresh example with good to large margins all round, tied by crisp "LYON 8 JANV. 49" type 15 cds to entire letter, directed to Duderstadt Hannover with endorsement "franco jusqu'à Strasbourg" alongside, reverse with "12 .." handstamp. The Cérès stamp was erroneously used to pay the internal postage in France and the cover was taxed first with '8' Sgr. then with '6½' Sgr. upon arrival. A very early usage within France (2nd week),probably one of the earliest usages of a French adhesive on a cover to Hannover. The sender was Ludwig von Sothen, writing to his brother Karl Wilhelm von Sothen, both members of a local Duderstadt noble family. A fine and very rare entire. Cert. Brun (2018).

    1923: 'Revolution / 1922', the Postage and Postage Due issues from Crete overprinted for use as Postage in Greece, the remarkable collection all overprinted with typically watery italic "Specimen" (Bendon Type 1, see page 68) in violet for the U.P.U, as per the circular dated Octover 29, 1923 with the two Crete pictorial sets overprinted and the two Crete Postage Due sets overprinted entirely complete as sent to the UPU. Extremely rare as full sets with partial gum and one or two stamps with faults but a particularly rare collection of a full set of 40 stamps.rnrnNote: James Bendon states: "the number of stamps at the disposal of the International Bureau does not permit the distribution of a large number. It appears that each member of the UPU received one or two collections, the second perhaps incomplete".
