Postal History
1864 (15 Feb.) printed humorous Valentine envelope franked 1d. (creased on affixing, originally with the cancellation partly beneath and on the back of the stamp), with enclosure being "copy of writ" demanding £1,000,000 for stealing the senders heart; the envelope with flap missing, the enclosure with splits along the necessary folds strengthened by archival tape. Amusing and most unusual. Photo
