Despite the rare destination, the 1 s. on azure paper is a great rarity, as only a very small print run of the 1s. was carried out on the azure paper. The Karl Louis Card Index records one similar cover with the same franking from the same correspondence and just eight more covers, threreof six single frankings, a pair (N.P.M.London). Typical tropicalisation slightly toning adhesives and envelope (cleaned staining) due to destination, but a great rarity in regard of Postal History (destination) and Traditional Philately of the Surface Printed Issues (Azure Paper). Cert. RPSL (2020) Gi = £ 4'000+ for two single 1s. off cover.rnRemarks: Intensive research has been undertaken with regard to the chemical paper ingredients responsible for the blueing of the 1s. azure paper by X-ray flourescence spectroscopy by comparing the blueing of 4d. and 6d. adhesives from the 1855/58 issue with the 1s. The results show very similar diagram results of the chemical contents of the blued paper (copies of the diagrams attached with the lot).  rn

    1859/1875: Collection of forty-seven 'insufficiently prepaid' letters from Great-Briatin to France originating from all parts of Britain written up on self made pages.. The collection contains both a correctly franked item erroneously treated as "INSUFFICIENTLY PREPAID", as well as underfranked letters. This collection demonstrates the postal practices of cancelling erroneous markings, mainly with barred "50" in black or red ink, later with other cachets. Due to the French weight progressions being different than in the UK, errors happened quite frequently. In cases of doubt items were reweighed and the underpayment markings were already applied before mail left London for the continent. Letters in this collection bear frankings of up to 9 d. in total, the majority being 4 d., made up of line-engraved and surface printed stamps. The condition is mixed as could be expected. An instructive and varied lot with much interest.

    1884 (Feb 29): 1 d. red, three used examples on the famous 1885 cover to Kingston, Canada, in combination with Cape of Good Hope 1 d. rose-red in a block of twelve (6 x 2), the Stellaland adhesives cancelled "Vryburg / 26-6-85 / Stellaland / J.W. Eaton, Postmaster" in violet crayon manuscript with the Cape block cancelled by five strikes of the BARKLY / G.W. datestamps (27 June) in black, both the Cape and Stellaland adhesives also being cancelled by the Canadian arrival datestamp (Aug 3) in black. Reverse with minor flap fault and small cover tear of no significance, "2½d." credit marking in red, Cape Town cds, London transit cds in red (July 21) and Kingston arrival cds (Aug 3) in black. An outstanding cover - the sole recorded usage of Stellaland stamps being tied to a cover by a cancellation other than a manuscript usage, the sole recorded usage of a Stellaland multiple franking and the sole recorded Stellaland cover to a destination outside Africa. A wonderful cover, initially found by the late E.W.Proud. See the article in the 'London Philatelist', March 1992 on page 101:58, this being cover #6 of the 13 listed in the Dr. Drysdall census. A major exhibition item of South African Postal History. Cert. BPA (1983).rnProvenance: Stanley Gibbons, London, 22 Jan 1990, lot 677.rnrn
