1854 (15. Jul.) 25c blue, generously margined strip of five as part of a 2f.50c. three colour franking on overseas letter from 'Paris' via 'London' (17. Jul.) and 'Panama' to 'Arequipa' Peru. The franking is exceptionally fresh and contrasts delightfully with the cover, the cancellations and cachets. The additional franking, consisting of a good margined 10c. bistre and three 25c. singles and a 40c all Napoleon, display the odd fault, the strip has a pressed and barely visible filing crease. A straight line cachet 'FRANCA' in red is evidence of the arrival in Peru. Despite the minor shortcomings a most desirable letter. Signed Calves. (Image 1) (Image 2)
