Lot 10449 – 1790 circa. Undated folded cover from Cádiz via Corunna to Lima, exceptionally with two different “España” postmarks

1790 ca. Undated folded cover from Cádiz via Corunna to Lima, initially struck on dispatch with red “España” hs at bottom, with a similar strike of Corunna applied at top (Kouri types I & II), presumably having paid 5 Reales, of which 2 corresponding to inland fees, and conveyed via Buenos Aires. This mail, instead of being embarked at Cádiz, was placed on board a ship calling at Corunna which had most probably planned an earlier departure. The only cover documented displaying two different “España” postmarks, this being an absolutely exceptional feature, as these were applied in two different cities in Spain. Ex Camino and Sitjà.
