1862. Stampless envelope addressed to France dated 'Shanghai 18th June 1862' with Shanghai/C date stamp on reverse (Webb Type A) routed via Hong Kong Ju 24' cds in blue on reverse (Webb Type 13) with Anglo-French accountancy 'GB/1f 22 4/1 Oc' in blue on face (Webb Type G) routed via Suez with 'Poss. Ang. V. Suez/Marseille' French entry cachet in red on face, charged hand-struck '9' with Paris arrival '16th Aout' on reverse. Webb lists the earliest date known as 23 November 1862 (from Shanghai), the clarity of the accountancy mark and the date '18th June 1862' leads us to conclude this may well be the earliest recorded use of this accountancy. Exhibition item.
