1876, 500r orange, strip of three, centred to bottom left, showing neat strikes of “Corumbá/17 Jan 92/(Matto Grosso)” cds in purple; postmarks originating from the internal region of Matto Grosso, an area with scarce population with Amazon rainforest, are sought after and rarely found: this example, in such a delightful presentation and on a very scarce multiple of the highest denomination in this issue, is of particularly high significance; ex Dr. de Amaral Machado.
