'81' Numeral-in-Rays and very fine 'WARWICK/QUEENSLAND' unframed cds with fleurons at lower-left over-struck by very fine 'INSUFFICIENTLY/PRE-PAID' rounded-boxed handstamp applied above the endorsement, Brisbane & 'PLYMOUTH/DE 5/82/SHIP-LETTER'
transits and New York 'DEC/16' arrival backstamps, minor blemishes and light vertical bend. Underpaying the 8d non-contract rate to the USA via San Francisco, the item was sent via England and not taxed because the 6d rate for this route was fully

 1890 (April 9) solicitor's envelope from England to "Captain Pennefather, Governor of St Helena, Brisbane, Queensland" with 1d
lilac x6 tied by five fine to very fine strikes of 'LIVERPOOL/466' Hooded-Circle datestamps, small-part Brisbane arrival backstamp only as part of back flap missing & minor edge faults. The buildings on St Helena Island in Moreton Bay were
constructed in 1865 to serve as a Quarantine Station, but overcrowding forced the site to be used as a gaol from 1867 onwards; the facility was closed in 1932. This is the first item of mail to or from the St Helena Island Prison that we have
recorded. (Image1)
