Napolèon imperforated 10 c. bistre, shaved at top and a right
marginal but defective example of 40 c. orange, the cover
presumably intended to be sent with the French postal services but
finally despatched at the Austrian post office in Ruschuck and
directed to Annonay, the French adhesives tied by clear Austrian

transit backstamp (June 19), French STRASBOURG entry cds (June 22),
French ambulant and ANNONAY arrival (June 24). Taxed in Austria
with '40 x' (Kreuzer) in manuscript, also handled in France as
fully unpaid and taxed with handstruck '10' (décimes). Signed
Calves and accompanied by the extensive writeup of Prof. Vodrazka;
cert. Goller (2026). Note: The text states that this cover was
given to two persons on route to Bucharest which makes the franking
with French adhesives by the sender difficult to understand as
there was no French office on this way. To speed up the transport
the cover was therefore given to the first Austrian office in
Ruschuk and made its way upstream to Vienna. Reference: Collection
