ONE OF THREE KNOWN ON COVER USAGES OF THE SHANGHAI 1865 LARGE DRAGON ISSUES - A GREAT SHANGHAI

This cover and map enclosure comes from a find of 5 maps and 3 covers. These apparently accompanied reports of the Volunteer Corps who reported to Commandant Hornby. The maps are dated November and December of 1865, as
well as February, March and May 1866. The maps differ in the numbering of the bridges in pen, two include "Senior Patrol". The three covers include a December 1865 cover with stamp torn away and uses with two candareens stamps dated February and May
1866. (See website for complete images)
