    1870c.: Great Britain 1 d. red star, perf. 14, a single used example on small envelope (Royal Crown crest in blue on reverse) from Rio de Janeiro to England, presumably written on board ship and mailed on arrival in Rio de Janeiro, tied by bold strike of "C83" obliterator in black. Fine strike of extremely rare oval "INSUFFICIENTLY / R DE J / PREPAID" handstamp in black at left and "11d." charge due to pay in manuscript. The Insufficiently Prepaid marking is peculiar to Brazil and is recorded, albeit rarely, between 1870 and 1873; however this usage with a 1 d. red star would perhaps point to an earlier date of use. A beautiful cover.rnProvenance: Collection J.
