VERY FINE. A RARE USE OF THE 5-CENT 1856 ISSUE POSITION 23R, DEFECTIVE TRANSFER, ON A THREE-MONTHS PERIOD COVER TO FRANCE.
Carried on the Cunarder Persia which departed New York Feb. 4, 1857 and arrived Liverpool Feb. 14. The "Arabia" referenced in the manuscript marking at top actually refers to a steamer which left on Feb. 11. There are probably fewer than five uses of the 5c 1856 Position 23R1 defective transfer on cover.

VERY FINE. A CHOICE AND HANDSOME 1856 5-CENT COVER TO FRANCE CANCELLED BY THE RARE AND DISTINCTIVE "VARIANT" CIRCULAR DATESTAMP OF NEW ORLEANS.
The New Orleans variant circular datestamp is distinguished by its larger diameter circle and with two dots below "La" abbreviation. It was in use only for a very short period of time. After leaving New Orleans and transiting New York this cover was carried from Boston on the Cunarder Arabia, which departed Aug. 13 and arrived Liverpool Aug. 25.
