Lot no. 8170

1872/76: 2 covers to Batavia, the earlier endorsed 'by French Mail' and paid in cash (1/3d.) and franked for Late Fee only with 1858 1 d. red (perfin 'Huth') tied by London obliterator and 'Paid' cds. The sender's instruction was ignored and sent via USA with '12 1/2 / Cents' credit marking in red on front and Batavia arrival on reverse in red; 1876 improved cover franked by 1858 2 d. blue pl. 15 and 1875 1 s. green pl. 12 tied by 'Yarmouth / Norfolk / 927' duplex and addressed to the British Barque 'Frederica' in Batavia. A few faults but an interesting pair.
