EXTREMELY FINE. THIS MAGNIFICENT COVER IS ARGUABLY THE GREATEST OF ALL ANTI-SLAVERY ENVELOPES USED IN THE UNITED STATES. THE BRITISH DESIGN IS EXTREMELY RARE, AND THE USE OF THE 3-CENT 1851 ISSUE FOR UNITED STATES POSTAGE ADDS ANOTHER DIMENSION OF RARITY.
The African man at left holds a Bible, referencing Isaiah 58:6: "...loose the bands of wickedness, undo the heavy burdens, let the oppressed go free and break every yoke."
Illustrated in Brookman Volume I (p. 146) and on front cover of Chronicle (No. 220). Ex Bilden and Jarrett (Image)

VERY FINE. A SPECTACULAR AND RARE FREMONT CAMPAIGN COVER INCORPORATING ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE LEGENDARY FRONTIERSMAN FIGHTING INDIANS AND REACHING THE PEAK OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.
This remarkable design has detailed woodcut engravings of battle scenes at lower left and top center, and the engraving above the portrait oval depicts Fremont at the top of the Rocky Mountains, which is similar to the image used more than 40 years later on the 5c Trans-Mississippi stamp.
