1849: 20 c. black, the famous cover to Tours bearing the single example with three large margins, shaved at right vertical margin just into the frame line, used from Paris Bureau J and struck with "Croix de Saint André" handstamp in black. Paris datestamp at right "5 JANV. 49", the fifth day of use for the adhesive, and reverse with Tours arrival cds of the following day. A rarity of great aesthetic appeal. Certs. Scheller (2008) and Brun (2014).
