VERY FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED COVER USING FRENCH STAMPS FROM GRAND BOURG IN GUADELOUPE. A SUPERBLY RARE AND ATTRACTIVE COVER IN ALL RESPECTS.
The rarity of this cover is better understood in the context of where it originated. Grand Bourg is a commune on the small island of Marie-Galante off the coast of the main islands of Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre. Even today, Grand Bourg has a population of under 6,000 inhabitants with only two hotels. One can only imagine how small of a village it would have been in 1852.
