VERY FINE. ONE OF THE RAREST AND EARLIEST OF THE REFORM ENVELOPES.

The Printed "No. 1" at top left indicates this may have been intended to be part of a series but no others are known. Only three examples of this design are known to us: the example offered here, an example bearing a Penny Black offered in our Giamporcaro sale in 1996 and an example from the Yates collection franked with a Penny Black.

Illustrated and described on a page by itself (p. 178) in British Pictorial Envelopes of the 19th Century by Bodily, Jarvis and Hahn. Ex Hahn. (Image)
