VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE USE OF A STRIP OF FOUR OF THE 5-CENT 1862 RED BROWN ON A COVER TO IRELAND -- THE PROPER FRANKING AFFIXED TO THE BACK OF THE COVER NOT SEEN AND SO TREATED AS UNPAID.
This was carried on the Cunarder Canada, which departed Boston on December 22, 1864, and arrived in Queenstown on January 2, 1865. (Image)

VERY FINE. A REMARKABLE BLACK JACK USE ON A NEWSPAPER PRINTED THE DAY AFTER THE FALL OF VICKSBURG TO UNION FORCES, AND SENT TO ENGLAND AS A SOUVENIR OF THE EVENT. A PHENOMENAL PRINTED MATTER RATE USE.
Union forces occupied Vicksburg on July 3, 1863. The type galley of the July 2 edition of The Daily Citizen, a pro-Confederate local newspaper, was evidently still set and was used to produce a souvenir edition on July 4. The added Note in the last column reads in part "The banner of the Union floats over Vicksburg. Gen. Grant has caught the rabbit, he has dined in Vicksburg and he did bring his dinner with him...This is the last wall-paper citizen and is, excepting this note, from the types as we found them."
