VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE SOUTHGATE NO. 1 DESIGN USED WITH A PENNY BLACK DURING THE FIRST MONTH OF ISSUE.
The British Pictorial Envelopes of the 19th Century lists only one other used with a Penny Black, on June 3, 1840. This is also listed as the earliest use in the book. The cover offered here is not listed in the book, and becomes the earliest reported use. (Image)
