VERY FINE. ONE OF TWO RECORDED 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE COVERS TO BRITISH GUIANA. A MARVELOUS BRAZIL LINE USAGE VIA ST. THOMAS.
According to Michael Laurence's article on Brazil Line covers (Chronicle 116), this was carried on the S.S. South America, departing New York on Nov. 23, 1869. The 1869 PRA Census lists an Apr. 29, 1869 cover to British Guiana, also with a 10c and re-rating from 4p due to 5p. This second, later cover, was not listed.
