3011 c ImageDanville Va., 5c Black on Dark Buff entire (21XU3). Style with "SOUTHERN" curved, press-printed illustrated design on dark buff cover to Greensboro N.C., "Danville Va. Jul. 15" (1861) circular datestamp, scattered toned specks and slightly worn as are virtually all

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE DANVILLE VIRGINIA PRESS-PRINTED PICTORIAL PROVISIONAL.

The Calhoun census lists 24 envelopes, but nearly half are not proper provisional uses (either lacking a Danville postmark or used with adhesive postage). There are only eleven or twelve properly used and postmarked envelopes (all 5c). The classification of Buff versus Amber is also questionable, and we think it is quite probable that all of the genuine July-September envelopes are more or less the same shade of Dark Buff (21XU3).
