1854, July 25. Cover to Santiago bearing First London Printing 10c., two diagonally bisected examples, one touched at left, otherwise good margins, with "Porte de mar" in manuscript adjacent to one of the stamps denoting that one adhesive was applied to pay the maritime fee, this being an exceptional feature when postal clerks were probably not familiar to the practice of the recently introduced adhesives, each tied by mute cancel with fine "CHAÑARCILLO" straight-line in centre. A very scarce and fine First London Printing franking. SFC 15a. Ex Menéndez.
