Prephilately 1793/94: Prepaid cover from Cadiz to Lima, Peru endorsed internally and on obverse by Spanish ship "Princesa" of the Armada Real, struck with framed "CADIZ / FRANCO" handstamp in red (Tizón fig. 34). The cover crossed to denote prepayment - an extremely expensive, risky and unusual move during this period - this being the first example of such this describer has seen.rnNote: As if to show the danger and unnecesary expense of prepayment at this date, the "Princesa" was captured by the British Royal Navy on 16th September 1796 by the "Seahorse", under Capt. Thomas Francis Freemantle off Corunna; and renamed after joining the Royal Navy. (Image 1) (Image 2)
