GIU handstamps in black. Prepaid as far as Hamburg with the 45 centesemi, it appears the sender tried to pay postage to destination by adding the second adhesive, however the letter was assessed at Hamburg (blue manuscript on front) and charged '16' skilling due in red crayon for postage from Hamburg to destination. Reverse with 'Berlin / Hamburg' cds (16/6), Hamburg cds and Danish P.O. in Hamburg datestamp (17/6), the latter in blue. A wonderful and extremely rare cover. Cert. Colla (2004).

    Lombardo-Veneto 1854: 15 c. red, machine paper, type III, bright colour and large margins all round, tied by "MILANO 16 / 6" cds to printed matter to Lyon, with "P.D." and French entry cds "AUTRICHE 19 JUIN 58 CULOZ" in red alongside. From January 1, 1858 the printed matter rate to France was reduced to 15 c., therefore this cover was not taxed. The accompanying printed matter, sent in August 1857 was treated as a totally unfranked letter and was therefore taxed with "10" décimes. Comparable printed matter items from the same correspondences are displayed and described in the Ferchenbauer handbook, pp. 106-107. Sign. E. Diena, Cert. Ferchenbauer (1996).
