Letter postmarked with RED rectangular "LANDSKRONA 14.4 1839" and sent to Copenhagen. Landskrona received this postmark in 1837, engraved by Mauritz Frumerie. Inbetween March and April 1839 the postmaster for unknown reasons used red colour when stamping the letters. A theory is that it was a warning against an ongoing cholera epidemic in Landskrona, but no documents have been found to support the theory. Certificate HOW (1995). The RED Landskrona postmark is very Rare.
