24c Green & Violet (Scott 120). Used with 1c Buff (112), each stamp cancelled by matching circular cork cancel and tied by part of adjoining “Boston Mass. Jan. 21 3 P.M.” circular datestamp on 1870 cover to Rosario, Argentina, red “8” credit handstamp, faint red oval handstamp applied in Argentina, pencil “10c”, reduced at left A FINE AND COLORFUL COVER. THE ONLY GENUINE COVER WITH THIS COMBINATION OF 1869 STAMPS AND ONE OF TWO RECORDED 24-CENT 1869 COVERS TO ARGENTINA. The 1c and 24c stamps were intended to prepay the 25c rate (between -1/4 and -1/2 ounce) for American Packet service to Rio de Janeiro and from there by French Packet to Buenos Aires. However, the French Packet service ended by January 1870, and the cover was sent via the new British Packet. The 18c per -1/2 ounce rate applied to British mail, and the cover was correctly marked with the 8c credit. ?Only two 24c 1869 covers to Argentina are recorded in the 1869 PRA census book. Although two 1c and 24c combination covers are listed in the same census, subsequent to publication the other cover (ex Ishikawa) was determined to be a forgery, leaving only this cover with the 1c Franklin and 24c Declaration of Independence pictorial stamps. The 24c vignette was engraved by James Smillie from John Trumbull’s oil painting Declaration of Independence. There are two versions of this painting; one hangs in the Capitol Rotunda, and the other at Yale University. Contrary to the popular belief that this painting depicts the signing ceremony, Trumbull actually painted a romanticized image of the presentation of the Declaration draft. There are 47 individuals portrayed in the painting, and the tiny engraving captures virtually all of them in minute detail. Franklin is shown standing in front of the desk, the fifth figure at right in the group of five. Ex White, Emerson, Krug and Kuphal. Signed Ashbrook. With 1990 and 2002 P.F. certificates Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Jun 2015, Sale 1105, Lot 2610 |
