 1853, Queen Maria II, 100r lilac (Scott 4), single on Oct. 10, 1855 folded letter from Vizeu to Lisboa (10.12); stamp with
rich deep color, full to large margins, and canceled by "112" barred circle with matching boxed "10 10/VIZEU/55" alongside; arrival c.d.s. on reverse; slight browning as common for the period. Very Fine single franking paying the quadruple domestic
rate. A spectacular centerpiece for any Portuguese exhibit. Fewer than six single-frankings of the 1853 issue top value are believed to exist, the majority of used 100r stamps coming from fiscal documents. Ex- Dr. Trincao, Washburne, with
clear 1994 R.P.S.L. certificate plus 2022 letter from J. Miranda da Mota declining opinion whether stamp originated on cover.
